CHEM 233 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Diethyl Ether, Propionaldehyde, Dimethyl Sulfide
Document Summary
From international union of pure and applied chemistry (iupac) Rules: identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This chain determines the parent name (root) of the alkane. The parent suffix for alkanes is, not surprisingly, -ane. Substituent alkyl groups are referred to with suffix -yl . (i. e. , an alkane substituent is an alkyl: if an alkyl group appears more than once, use the prefixes di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, respectively) for each type of alkyl group: list the groups alphabetically (note: you can ignore this rule in chem 123, numbers are separated from letters by dash (-). Linear chain hydrocarbon roots: n = 1 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4 meth eth prop but. Hydrocarbon suffixes n = 5 n = 6 n = 7 pent hex hept n = 8 n = 9 n = 10 oct non dec.
