31 lip 2021 · Nomenclature of Cyclic Ethers. Ring compounds containing nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or other elements as ring atoms generally are known as heterocyclic compounds, and the ring atoms other than carbon are the hetero atoms. Over the years, the more common heterocyclic compounds have acquired a hodge-podge of trivial names, such as ethylene oxide, ...

Crown ethers are macrocyclic ethers, which help to solvate metal cations, and thus allow inorganic salts to dissolve in organic solvents. 18-Crown-6 is the ideal size to incorporate a potassium ion, and allows organic solutions of ionic potassium salts to be prepared (purple benzene).
The following steps are taken in naming an alkane with a branched chain: (a) Find the longest continuous carbon chain and select the appropriate alkane name from Table 1. (Side chains are not included in the carbon count.) (b) Name all of the side chains (carbon chains attached to the longest chain) and list them in alphabetical order.

Cyclic ethers are a type of heterocycle with one or more oxygens located in the ring. Many cyclic ethers have common names and are often used as solvents due to their inert nature. These ring structures are also found in many biological molecules such as sugars and DNA.
Ethers. Contain an ─O─ between two carbon groups. That are simple are named by listing the alkyl names in alphabetical order followed by ether. Cyclic ethers (heterocyclic compounds) are often given common names. DO NOT memorize!
Common Names. Ethers are usually named by giving the name of each alkyl or aryl group, in alphabetical order, followed by the word ether. IUPAC system. For ethers with more complex structures, it may be necessary to name the -OR group as an alkoxy group.
