Nomenclature of Substituted Organic Compounds
# Key Points- Provides systematic rules for naming organic compounds with substituents.
- Substituents are atoms or groups of atoms that replace hydrogen atoms in a parent hydrocarbon chain.
Main Concepts
1. Parent Chain and Substituents:
- Identify the longest carbon chain as the parent chain.
- Substituents are named and attached to the parent chain using prefixes.
2. Numbering the Parent Chain:
- Number the parent chain from the end that gives the lowest number to the first carbon bearing a substituent.
3. Naming Substituents:
- Prefixes for alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups:
- Prefix _-yl_ for alkanes (_meth-_, _eth-_, _prop-_, etc.)
- Prefix _-enyl_ for alkenes (_ethen-_, _propen-_, etc.)
- Prefix _-ynyl_ for alkynes (_ethyn-_, _propynyl_, etc.)
4. Multiple Substituents:
- List substituents alphabetically by prefix.
- Use prefixes _di_, _tri_, _tetra_, etc. for multiple occurrences of the same substituent.
5. Branching:
- Identify the longest branch and name it as a substituent.
- Number the branch as part of the parent chain.
6. Functional Groups:
- Special prefixes for common functional groups, e.g.:
- _-oxo_ for ketones
- _-ol_ for alcohols
- _-amine_ for amines
Example:
Consider the compound 2,4-dimethylhexane:
- Parent chain: Hexane (6 carbons)
- Substituents: 2 methyl groups at carbons 2 and 4
- Name: 2,4-dimethylhexane
Importance:
- Allows for unambiguous identification of organic compounds.
- Facilitates communication between chemists.
- Aids in classifying and organizing organic compounds.
Experiment: Nomenclature of Substituted Organic Compounds
Objective: To understand and practice the IUPAC rules for naming substituted organic compounds.
Materials:
- Molecular models of various organic compounds
- Paper and pencil
Procedure:
- Examine the molecular models of various organic compounds.
- Identify the parent chain, which is the longest carbon chain with the most number of substituents.
- Identify the substituents attached to the parent chain.
- Number the carbon atoms of the parent chain so that the substituents have the lowest possible numbers.
- Name the substituents using the appropriate prefixes (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl).
- Combine the names of the substituents with the name of the parent chain to form the name of the compound.
Key Procedures:
- Identifying the parent chain
- Identifying the substituents
- Numbering the carbon atoms
- Naming the substituents
Significance:
This experiment helps students understand the IUPAC rules for naming substituted organic compounds. These rules are essential for communicating about organic compounds and for understanding the structure and properties of these compounds.
