Numbering carbons 2-butene 1-pentene Q- Draw pentene A- Where’s the bond? We number C atoms Always give double/triple bond the lowest number Q – Name: 2-butene

Naming side chains Names are made up of: side chains, root l C—C—C—C—C Names are made up of: side chains, root 2,3-dimethyl pentane Root is the longest possible HC chain Common side chains include: CH3- methyl CH3CH2- ethyl CH3CH2CH2- propyl Br- (bromo), Cl- (chloro), F(fluoro), I- (iodo)

Naming side chains Example: use the IUPAC rules Rule 1: choose the correct ending ene

Naming side chains Rule 2: longest carbon chain ene

Naming side chains Rule 3: attach prefix (according to # of C) ene 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 4: Assign numbers to each carbon 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 4: Assign numbers to each carbon 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 5: Determine name for side chains 1-hexene ethyl methyl methyl Rule 5: Determine name for side chains 1-hexene 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 6: attach name of branches ethyl methyl methyl Rule 6: attach name of branches 2-ethyl-4-methyl-4-methyl-1-hexene 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 7: list alphabetically ethyl methyl methyl Rule 7: list alphabetically 2-ethyl-4-methyl-4-methyl-1-hexene 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 8,9: group similar branches ethyl methyl methyl Rule 8,9: group similar branches 2-ethyl-4-methyl-4-methyl-1-hexene 1-hexene

Naming side chains Rule 8,9: group similar branches ethyl methyl methyl Rule 8,9: group similar branches 2-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl-1-hexene

Place your model at a vacant lab station. On a scrap piece of paper write the following: 1) your station number, 2) the structure of your molecule, 3) the name of the structure. Give this to your teacher. Rotate through the stations, drawing the structures and determining their names. At the end of the class students will reveal the answer with an explanation.

Naming: common vs. IUPAC Common names used in the 1800’s are still used for some compounds today: Acetone Formic acid Acetylene The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) was established in 1900s Frequent revisions to nomenclature Systematic method allows an infinite number of compounds to be named given a few rules

Basic names of hydrocarbons Hydrocarbon names are based on: 1) class 2) # of C, 3) side chain type and 4) position 1) name will end in -ane, -ene, or -yne 2) the number of carbons is given by a “Prefix” 1 meth- 2 eth- 3 prop- 4 but- 5 pent- 6 hex- 7 hept- 8 oct- 9 non- 10 dec- Actually, all end in a, but a is dropped when next to a vowel. E.g. a 6 C alkene is hexene Q - What names would be given to these: 7C, 9C alkane 2C, 4C alkyne 1C, 3C alkene heptane, nonane ethyne, butyne does not exist, propene

Multiple multiple bonds 2,3-heptadiene 2,4,6-nonatriyne Give 1st bond (1st point of difference) lowest # include di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. before ene/yne Comma between #s, hyphen between #-letter You do not need to know ene + yne CH3CH2CH2CH=C=CH2 2-butyne 1,2,4-pentatriene 1,2-hexadiene

Cyclic structures Cyclic structures are circular Have “cyclo” in name Benzene is not a cyclic structure cyclopentane Q- Draw these (note: carbons in a double bond should be consecutive- 1 and 2, 5 and 6, etc.): cyclobutene 1,3-cyclopentadiene cyclopropane

Drawing structures: it’s all good 2-butene This is called the “condensed structure” On a test, choose a method that shows all Hs CH3CH=CHCH3 Using brackets can also shorten some formulas: CH3(CH2)4CH3 vs. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3

Naming side chains 3-methylhexane 4-ethyl-2,3-dimethylheptane 5-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctane

Naming side chains Name the structures below 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane 3-ethyl-1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexene

More practice 4-bromo-7-methyl-2-nonene 2,5-dibromo-6-chloro-1,3-cycloheptadiene 5-fluoro-7,7-dimethyl-2,4-octadiene Pg. 1049 # 24.5, 24.6, 24.7, 24.14, 24.15 Ignore 24.15 e)

Pg. 1049 24.5 - Recall, the exceptions to organic compounds are oxides of carbon, carbonates, bicarbonates, cyanides. b) is an oxide, d) bicarbonate, e) carbonate 24.6 - This is a straight chain molecule as all carbons are consecutive. 24.7 - none are possible: a) one too few Hs (should be CH3CH2CH3), b) one H too many (should be CH2=CHCH2CH3), c) one H too many (should be CH3CH=CHCH2CH3).

Aromatic nomenclature There are 2 naming methods Numbering carbons ortho, meta, para (stomp) 1,2-dimethylbenzene orthodimethylbenzene ST Ortho Meta 1,3-dimethylbenzene metadimethylbenzene Para Benzene is very stable (does not generally undergo addition) 1,4-dimethylbenzene paradimethylbenzene
