Naming Alkanes
• The IUPAC name of any organic compound
has three basic parts
Root- denotes number of carbon atoms in the
longest continuous chain of carbon atoms
Prefix- gives positions and names of any
branches
Suffix- indicates series to which the molecule
belongs (e.g. alkane, alkene alkyne)

Steps for Naming Alkanes
1. Identify the root
• Identify the longest
continuous chain
• Find the root name for
the number of carbons
in the chain
2. Identify the suffix
• Longest chain has 6
carbon atoms
• Root name is hex• Compound is alkane
• Suffix is -ane
1. Identify the prefix
(name the branches)
• Identify the number of
carbon atoms in each
branch
• Determine the name of
each branch
• Number the C atoms on
the longest chain to
produce the lowest
number combinations
(or sum) for the
branches
• Two branches have one
carbon atom and 3rd branch
has 2 carbon atoms
• Methyl- and ethyl-
• Precede the name of
each branch with the
number of the carbon
atom to which it is
attached on the main
chain.
• For more than one of the
same branch use a
prefix: di = 2 ,tri = 3,
tetra = 4, penta = 5
• Separate numbers using
commas
• Separate numbers and
words using hyphens
• 3-ethyl
• 2,4-dimethyl
• Arrange branches
alphabetically (ignore
prefixes di, tri, etc…)
4. Name the compound
• Combine prefix, root,
and suffix to name the
compound
• Prefix: 3-ethyl-2,4dimethyl
• Root: hex• Suffix: -ane
• Name: 3-ethyl-2,4dimethylhexane
Finding the longest continuous chain
of carbon atoms is not always simple
all possibilites
must be examined

Naming Cyclic Hydrocarbons
1. Identify the root
• Determine number of
carbon atoms in the
ring. Assign root
name
2. Identify the suffix
• Not necessary to
indicate location of
double or triple
bonds, always
between c1-c2
Root: pentSuffix: -1-yne
• (indicate the number
of the carbon atom
that precedes the triple
bond, only if alkyne
has 4 or more carbons)
Naming Cyclic Hydrocarbons
3. Identify the prefix.
• If there is only one substituent, do not use the “1”.
• If there is more than one substituent, you must use all
numbers, including “1”!
• If there are two or more side groups, the numbering must
start with a side group and then proceed in the direction
that gives the lowest possible numbers to all the side
groups.
• If numbers are the same for two or more side groups, the
side group that comes first alphabetically is assigned as c1.
Naming Cyclic Hydrocarbons
• If the molecule is a cyclic alkene or cyclic alkyne,
the multiple bond takes highest priority. The
carbon atom on one side of the multiple bonds is
c-1 and one the other side is c-2. If there are
side groups, the numbering starts in the position
that will make the number of the carbon atoms
bonded to the side groups as small as possible.
4. Name the compound
• Combine the prefix, root, and suffix to name the
compound.
