36 Name IUPAC Rules for Naming Alcohols: RULE 1: Locate the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This will give you the name of the ‘parent’ compound. Replace the suffix ‘-ane’ with ‘-anol.’ The position of the hydroxyl group(s) on the parent chain is(are)
When H2O has one or both of its hydrogens replaced by an R group we get alcohols and ethers. Alcohols are named by taking the longest chain connected to the –OH group and numbering from the side nearest the –OH then dropping the final e in the name of the parent chain and replacing it with ol.
Draw the organic structures using line notation given the names below; these chemicals include the functional groups: alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. a. 3,3,4-trimethyl-2-pentanol b. dimethylether c. 2,4,6-trichloro-3-hexanol
Give the correct name, either IUPAC or common, to each of the following ethers: (hint: alkoxy group takes priority over alkene so it is part of the prefix) Draw the structural formula for the following organic compounds. dimethyl ether. 2-methoxypropane.
This is a set of practice problems on naming organic compounds. The examples cover the nomenclature of alkanes, bicyclic compounds, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, amines, ethers, and carboxylic acid derivatives such as nitriles, esters and amides.
Nomenclature of ethers. Common names of (symmetrical) ethers add the suffix ether after naming the groups on either side of the oxygen. IUPAC names ethers by taking the more complex alkyl group as the root name, and naming the remaining part as an alkoxy group.
The reactions shown to prepare ethanol and isopropyl alcohol industrially are examples of electrophilic addition of water to an alkene. The preparation of higher molecular weight alcohols by hydration is not as important because rearrangements occur and product yields are reduced.
