Cycloalkanes or Alicyclic Compounds (aliphatic cyclic) ▪ Saturated cyclic hydrocarbons containing rings of carbon atoms ▪ (CH2 )n or CnH2n 4-1 Naming Cycloalkanes
Naming Cycloalkanes Step 1-Find the parent by counting carbon atoms Named as alkyl-substituted cycloalkane The number of carbon atoms in the ring is equal to or greater than the number in the substituent Named as cycloalkyl-substituted alkane The number of carbon atoms in the largest substituent is greater than the number in the ring CH3 CH2CH2CH2CH3 3 carbons 4 carbons Methylcyclopentane 1-Cyclopropylbutane
Named as alkyl-substituted cycloalkane ▪ The number of carbon atoms in the ring is equal to or greater than the number in the substituent Named as cycloalkyl-substituted alkane ▪ The number of carbon atoms in the largest substituent is greater than the number in the ring Step 1 – Find the parent by counting carbon atoms Naming Cycloalkanes
Naming Cycloalkanes Step 2-Number the substituents,and write the name Choose attachment point as carbon 1 and number carbon atoms on the ring so that second substitutent has lowest number possible. CH3 CH3 6 2 6 3 NOT 5 5 3 4 CH3 CH3 1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane 1,5-Dimethylcyclohexane Lower Higher Cengg Leaming All Pits Paserved
▪ Choose attachment point as carbon 1 and number carbon atoms on the ring so that second substitutent has lowest number possible. Step 2 – Number the substituents, and write the name Naming Cycloalkanes
Naming Cycloalkanes If ambiguity exists,number H3C、6 1CH2CH3 carbon atoms so that third or fourth substituent has lowest -CH3 number possible. 3 1-Ethyl-2,6-dimethylcycloheptane H3C、4 2CH2CH3 Higher NOT CH3 6 H3C.

Naming Cycloalkanes ▪ If ambiguity exists, number carbon atoms so that third or fourth substituent has lowest number possible
Naming Cycloalkanes When two or more substituents could potentially receive the same numbers,number by alphabetical priority: CH3 CH3 1 CH2CH3 CH2CH3 3 5 2 NOT 3 1-Ethyl-2-methylcyclopentane 2-Ethyl-1-methylcyclopentane
▪ When two or more substituents could potentially receive the same numbers, number by alphabetical priority: Naming Cycloalkanes
Naming Cycloalkanes If halogens are present,treat them just like alkyl groups: CH3 CH3 2 NOT Br Br 1-Bromo-2-methylcyclobutane 2-Bromo-1-methylcyclobutane Additional examples: C B CH3 CH3 6 CHCH2CH3 5 CH3CH2 CH3 CH2CH3 1-Bromo-3-ethyl-5-methyl- (1-Methylpropyl)cyclobutane 1-Chloro-3-ethyl-2-methyl- cyclohexane or sec-butylcyclobutane cyclopentane Cangge Leaming All Pighs Resorved

4-2 Cis-Trans Isomerism in Cycloalkanes Cycloalkanes vs.Open-chain Alkanes Similarities -nonpolar;fairly inert Differences-cycloalkanes are less flexible than open- chain alkanes Rotation occurs around the carbon-carbon bond in ethane No rotation is possible around the carbon-carbon bonds in cyclopropane without breaking open the ring Larger cycloalkanes have increasing rotational freedom (a) Rotate
