IUPAC Names Find the longest continuous carbon chain Number the carbons, starting closest to the first branch Name the groups attached to the chain using the carbon number as the locator Alphabetize substituents Use di-, tri-, etc for multiples of same substituent Chapter 3
Chapter 3 5 IUPAC Names • Find the longest continuous carbon chain. • Number the carbons, starting closest to the first branch. • Name the groups attached to the chain, using the carbon number as the locator. • Alphabetize substituents. • Use di-, tri-, etc., for multiples of same substituent. =>
Longest Chain The number of carbons in the longest chain determines the base name ethane, hexane. Listed in Table 3.2 page 81 If there are two possible chains with the same number of carbons use the chain With the most substituents CH-CH2-CH 3 CH H3 C-CH2- C—CH-→CH2CH2CH3 CH Chapter 3
Chapter 3 6 Longest Chain • The number of carbons in the longest chain determines the base name: ethane, hexane. (Listed in Table 3.2, page 81.) • If there are two possible chains with the same number of carbons, use the chain with the most substituents. C CH3 CH2 CH3 CH CH2 CH2 CH3 CH CH2 CH3 H3C H3C =>
Number the carbons Start at the end closest to the first attached group If two substituents are equidistant, look for the next closest group CHa CH 34 H3C--CH-CH-CH2--CH2-CH-CH3 CH2CH Chapter 3
Chapter 3 7 Number the Carbons • Start at the end closest to the first attached group. • If two substituents are equidistant, look for the next closest group. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 H3 C CH CH3 CH CH2 CH3 CH2 CH2 CH CH3 CH3 =>
