Nomenclature
The system of naming compounds is referred to as nomenclature. In the early history of
organic chemistry, the names of compounds were related to the origin of certain properties of
compounds of the compounds. With millions of organic compounds, it because necessary to
develop a system of nomenclature. The system adopted was one recommended by the
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The rules of this system are as
follows:
A. For hydrocarbon (alkane, alkene, alkyne)
1. Select the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule. Refer to the
hydrocarbon name in the table below. This becomes the base name.
3. In alkenes and alkynes, number the chain beginning all the end that is closer to the
double bond or triple bond. The indicate position of the multiple bonds, use a prefix
number before the alkane or alkyne name.
Examples:
5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5
a. CH3—CH2--CH=CH2—CH3 not CH3—CH2--CH=CH—CH3
2-pentene not 3-pentene
1 2 3 4 10 9 8 3-C 4 3 2 1
b. CH2=CH—CH2--CH3 c. CH3 --CH2—CH2—(CH2)3—CH2--CH=CH—CH3
1- butene 2-decene
In compounds containing two double bonds, the ending -diene is used.
Examples:
1 2 3 4 5 6
CH3--CH=C=CH—CH2—CH3 2,3-hexadiene
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
CH3—CH2—CH=CH—CH2—CH2--CH=CH—CH3 2,6-nonene
