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

C                                                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. 
6- There is (-) in between word & number and (,) in between two number and there is no gap in between two letters. 

Ex-  CH3 -CH2 -CH(CH 3) - CH(CH3) - CH3 

2,3-Dimethylpentane
