Alkanes General formula:CH2n+2 Found in everything from natural gas to petroleum. The smaller alkanes have very low boiling points (b.p.)therefore they are gases. CH4 C2H6 C3Hg b.p.-160C -89C -42C Chapter 3 3
Chapter 3 3 Alkanes • General formula: CnH2n+2 • Found in everything from natural gas to petroleum. • The smaller alkanes have very low boiling points (b.p.) therefore they are gases. CH4 C2H6 C3H8 b.p. -160oC -89oC -42oC

IUPAC International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Common names kept:methane,ethane, propane,butane. ·Alkanes:suffix“-ane”will be used after the number of carbons. -Example:An alkane with5 carbons is“penta” for five and the suffix "-ane": pentane Chapter 3 8
Chapter 3 8 IUPAC • International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry • Common names kept: methane, ethane, propane, butane. • Alkanes: suffix “-ane” will be used after the number of carbons. – Example: An alkane with 5 carbons is “penta” for five and the suffix “-ane”: pentane
IUPAC Rules Rule 1:Find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms,and use the name of this chain as the base name of the compound. ● Rule 2:Number the longest chain,beginning with the end of the chain nearest a substituent. 。 Rule 3:Name the groups attached to the longest chain as alkyl groups.Give the location of each alkyl group by the number of the main chain carbon atom to which it is attached. 。 Write the alkyl groups in alphabetical order regardless of their position on the chain. Chapter 3 9
