Document Summary

Basic organic nomenclature (alkanes) this should be routine, especially the shorthand! Et n-pr propane n-bu butane pentane hexane heptane octane c-pr cyclopropane cyclobutane c-bu cyclopentane cyclohexane. Abbreviation iso-pr i-pr ipr tert-butyl benzyl para-tolyl tert-bu t-bu tbu . In an organic structure, the use of r denotes a generic alkyl group, and ar is used to denote a generic aryl group (an aromatic ring). These symbols are a shorthand notation and it is safe to assume that the specific identity of the alkyl or aryl group is not important to the reaction or mechanism. Reactions, as a rule, are generic, working for an infinite range of compounds having the indicated functional group or groups. Methyl group pointing either in or out of page; not important which. Position of remaining substituent is assumed; for example: Methyl group pointing into page, ethyl group pointing out of page. or. General considerations for organic molecular structures: octet rule.
