Document Summary

2. 3 nomenclature of alkanes and the iupac system. Alkyl group: derived by removing a hydrogen from an alkane (r ) Name for an alkenes with unbranched chain of c atoms consist with the # of c and the ending -ane. For branched-chain, select the longest chain of c atoms as parent chain. Give each substituent on the parent chain a name and a number i. Use a hyphen to connect the # to the name. If there is 1 substituent, it should be given the lowest # of parent chain. If there is 2 or more identical substituents, # of parent chains gives lowest toe highest number and should be separated by a comma i. If there is 2 or more different substituents, list them in alphabetical order i. If different substituents are in equivalent positions on opposite ends, lowest alphabetical order has lowest #
