Zasady Systematycznego Nazewnictwa Węglowodorów IUPAC NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Part I. HYDROCARBONS 1. ALKANES (Saturated chain hydrocarbons) Names of hydrocarbon chains C1-C20: C1 - methane C6 - hexane C11 - undecane C16 – hexadecane C2 - ethane C7 - heptane C12 – dodecane C17 - heptadecane C3 - propane C8 - octane C13 – tridecane C18 - octadecane C4 - butane C9 - nonane C14 - tetradecane C19 – nonadecane C5 - pentane C10 - decane C15 - pentadecane C20 - eicosane Names of alkyl substituents: Suffix -ane of parent alkane is replaced by suffix -yl. Accepted common names of alkyl groups C1-C5, (common abbreviations and systematic names are given in brackets) CH3- methyl, (Me); CH3CH2- ethyl, (Et); CH3CH2CH2- propyl, (Pr); (CH3)2CH- isopropyl, (i-Pr); CH3CH2CH2CH2- butyl, (n-Bu); CH3CH2(CH3)CH- sec-butyl, (s-Bu), (1-methylpropyl); (CH3)2CHCH2- isobutyl, (i-Bu), (2-methylpropyl); (CH3)3C- tert-butyl, (t-Bu), (1,1-dimethylethyl); CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2- pentyl; (CH3)2CHCH2CH2- isopentyl, (3-methylbutyl); CH3CH2(CH3)2C- tert-pentyl (1,1-dimethylpropyl); (CH3)3CCH2- neopentyl (2,2-dimethylpropyl); Alkane name formation: 1. We are looking for the longest carbon chain. 2. Carbon atoms are numbered starting from the end closer to the first branching point. 3. We identify substituents and list them in alphabetical order. 4. The number of the same substituents is indicated by prefixes: di- (2); tri- (3); tetra- (4); penta- (5); heksa- (6); hepta- (7);..etc. 5. Behind the last substituent parent name of hydrocarbon chain is written. 7-tert-butyl-4-ethyl-3-methylundecane 6-isopropyl-2,9-dimethyltetradecane 7-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-ethyl-3-methylundecane Names of branched alkyl substituents are formed in similar way as alkanes names, remembering that: a) Numbering of carbon atoms in substituent always starts from carbon linked to the parent skeleton. b) The longest chain is numbered. c) Substituents are listed in alphabetical order. d) The suffix –ane (for alkane) is replaced by suffix –yl (for alkyl). e) Name of such substituent is placed in brackets. 2. CYCLOALKANES (Saturated ring hydrocarbons) To the alkane name indicating number of carbon atoms, the prefix cyclo- is added. cyclopropane cyclobutane cyclopentane cyclohexane cycloheptane cyclotetradecane 1 3. ALKENES, ALKYNES, CYCLOALKENES, CYCLOALKYNES (Unsaturated hydrocarbons) Multiple bonds (C=C – double bond, CC – triple bond) are regarded in unsaturated hydrocarbons as functional groups. For alkenes the suffix -ene, indicates the presence of C=C bond, for alkynes the suffix –yne indicates the presence of CC bond. In compounds containing both types of multiple bonds the order of suffixes is: -en-yne. Naming of unsaturated hydrocarbons: 1. The longest chain containing the highest number of multiple bonds must be found. 2. Numbering begins from the end closer to the multiple bond. In molecules containing both kinds of bonds, double bond has priority before triple bond. 3. Before suffixes -ene or –yne the number indicating position of the bond has to appear. 4. In cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes numbering begins from one multiply bonded carbon and goes through the second multiply bonded carbon.. 4-(2,3-dimethylpropyl)- 6-ethyl-7-methyl-1-nonene 5-cyclopentyl-2-methyl-2-octen-6-yne 6-ethyl-7-methylnon-1-ene 1-cycloheptene 5-cyclopentyl-2-methyloct-2-en-6-yne 7,9-dimethyl-5-propyl-8-decen-1-yne 1-vinyl-1,3,5-cyclodecatriene 3-(2-propenyl)-14-propyl- 7,9-dimethyl-5-propyldec-8-en-1-yne 1-ethenylcyclodeca-1,3,5-triene cyclotetradeca-1,8-diyne Commonly used non-systematic names of alkenes and alkynes: CH2=CH2 ethylene (ethene) CH2=C=CH2 allene (propadiene) HCCH acetylene (ethyne) Unsaturated substituents with accepted common names: CH2=CH- vinyl (ethenyl) CH2=CHCH2- allyl (2-propenyl) CH2= methylene CH2=C(CH3)- isopropenyl 4.

Substituted arene derivatives are named in similar way as other hydrocarbons. Numbers indicating the positions of substituents and the names of substituents are placed in alphabetic order before the name of parent hydrocarbon. Examples: 1-isobutyl-2-methylbenzene (2,3-dimethylbutyl)benzene 3-ethyl-1-methylnaphthalene Parts of systematic name: 2-isopropyl-4,10,11-trimethyl-5-phenytrideca-1,6-dien-12-yne locant substituent name parent name endings prefixes parent skeleton suffixes Systematic name formation when structural formula is given: 1.

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.

  • Cyclohexane: a Strain-Free Cycloalkane
    Organic Chemistry I Mohammad Jafarzadeh Faculty of Chemistry, Razi University Organic Chemistry, Structure and Function (7th edition) By P. Vollhardt and N. Schore, Elsevier, 2014 1 CYCLOHEXANE: A STRAIN-FREE CYCLOALKANE The chair conformation of cyclohexane is strain free A hypothetical planar cyclohexane would suffer from 12 H–H eclipsing interactions and sixfold bond-angle strain (a regular hexagon requires 120o bond angles). One conformation of cyclohexane, obtained by moving carbons 1 and 4 out of planarity in opposite directions, is in fact strain free. This structure is called the chair conformation of cyclohexane (because it resembles a chair), in which eclipsing is completely absent, and the bond angles are very nearly tetrahedral. o -1 The calculated �H comb of cyclohexane (-944.4 kcal mol ) based on a strain-free (CH2)6 model is very close to the experimentally determined value (-944.5 kcal mol-1). Indeed, the C–C bond strength, �Ho = 88 kcal mol-1 (368 kJ mol-1), is normal. The molecular model of cyclohexane enables to recognize the conformational stability of the molecule. If we view it along (any) one C–C bond, we can see the staggered arrangement of all substituent groups along it. Because of its lack of strain, cyclohexane is as inert as a straight-chain alkane. 2 140 CHAPTER 4 Cycloalkanes 140 CHAPTER 4 Cycloalkanes Model Building 4-3 CYCLOHEXANE: A STRAIN-FREE CYCLOALKANE Model Building The cyclohexane4-3 ringCYCLOHEXANE: is one of the most common A STRAIN-FREE and important CYCLOALKANE structural units in organic chemistry.

This means that cyclohexane has the same stability as a- typical unbranched- alkane. Cyclohexane is the most widely occurring ring in compounds of natural origin. Its preva- lence, undoubtedly a consequence of its stability, makes it the most important of the cy- cloalkanes. The stability of cyclohexane is due to its conformation, which is the subject of Section 7.2. The stabilities and conformations of other cycloalkanes are discussed in Sec. 7.5. 7.2 CONFORMATIONS OF CYCLOHEXANE A.

  • Seven Conformations of the Macrocycle Cyclododecanone Unveiled by Microwave Spectroscopy
    molecules Article Seven Conformations of the Macrocycle Cyclododecanone Unveiled by Microwave Spectroscopy Ecaterina Burevschi and M. Eugenia Sanz * Department of Chemistry, King’s College London, London SE1 1DB, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The physicochemical properties and reactivity of macrocycles are critically shaped by their conformations. In this work, we have identified seven conformations of the macrocyclic ketone cyclododecanone using chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in combination with ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Cyclododecanone is strongly biased towards adopting a square configuration of the heavy atom framework featuring three C–C bonds per side. The substitution and effective structures of this conformation have been determined through the observation of its 13C isotopologues. The minimisation of transannular interactions and, to a lesser extent, HCCH eclipsed configurations drive conformational preferences. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the intrinsic forces mediating structural choices in macrocycles. Keywords: conformational flexibility; rotational spectroscopy; large ring; cycloketone; intramolecular interactions 1. Introduction Citation: Burevschi, E.; Sanz, M.E.
