IUPAC NOMENCLATURE
IUPAC NAME (INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PURE AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY)
There are 3 parts in an IUPAC name like
(a) Prefix
(b) Word root
(c) Suffix
Order to name of compound :-[Prefix name + Word root + 1°-Suffix + 2°- Suffix]
Prefix:- This is the side chain or substituent in a compound.
Ex-
Word root:- This is the name of C atom present carbon chain of the compound.No. of carbon atom Word root
C1 Meth
C2 Eth
C3 Prop
C4 But
C5 Pent
C6 Hex
C7 Hept
C8 Oct
C9 Non
C10 Dec
C11 Undec
C12 Dodec
C13 Tridec
SUFFIX :-
1°- Suffix:- It is used after the word root, which is according to the nature of C- C bonds.
For Single bond [C-C ] , ane suffix is used
For Double bond [C =C ] , ene suffix is used
For Triple bond [ C=_C ] , yne suffix is used.
2°- Suffix:- This is the name of the functional group, used after 1°- suffix.
Functional group Suffix
Alcohol (-OH) ol
Aldehyde (-CHO) al
Ketone (- CO -) one
Carboxylic acid ( -COOH) oic acid
Acid amide (-CONH2 ) amide
Acid halide (-COX)
(X= F, Cl, Br) oyl halide
Ester (-COOR) oate
SOME RULES FOR IUPAC NOMENCLATURE:-
1- Longest carbon chain must be selected.
Ex-
2- It should be more number of substituent attached to longest carbon chain.
Ex-
3- Numbering of carbon chain should be according to lowest locant rule.
Ex-
From Left to Right; 3+4=7
From Right to Left; 2+3=5
Numbering should be that side of carbon chain, whose sum of the position of the substituent is minimum.
4- Name of the substituents should be according to alphabetical order.
5- If the same number of substituent present in a compound is 2 then (di) prefix is used.
Similarly, for 3 (tri) , for 4 (tetra), for 5 (penta) prefix are used.
- di, tri, tetra, penta etc.are not included in alphabetical order.
Ex- CH3 -CH2 -CH(CH 3) - CH(CH3) - CH3
2,3-Dimethylpentane
