Naming Alcohols with Practice Problems. Naming alcohols follows the same rules we discussed earlier for the IUPAC nomenclature rules for alkanes. This is the brief summary of steps: Step 1. Identify the parent chain. Step 2. Identify the substituents. Step 3. Number the parent chain giving the OH group the lowest locant.
ETHERS WORKSHEET. 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. 1-ethoxybutane. diphenyl ether.
Functional groups: alcohol, ether, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, amide, and amine. For each molecule circle and name the functional group. Some molecules will have more than one functional group; in those cases circle and name all functional groups present.
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.

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.
Simple ethers are given common names in which the alkyl groups bonded to the oxygen are named in alphabetical order followed by the word "ether". The top left example shows the common name in blue under the IUPAC name.
