Introduction to Organic Chemistry
The field of chemistry which deals with the studies of reactions, structures, and properties of organic compounds that comprise carbon bonded through covalent bonding is organic chemistry. The studies regarding the structure of organic compounds could be determined with the help of structural formulas. In order to know about the behavior of organic compounds, a study on the properties has to be done. Both physical properties and chemical properties, the origin of chemical reactivity come under the study regarding the properties of organic compounds. The chemical preparation of polymers, drugs, natural products, and the study of separate organic molecules in the lab come under the study of organic reactions.
Vinyl Group
Vinyl group is the name given to the functional group of -CH=CH2. It can be seen as an ethene molecule with one less hydrogen in number. Hence it is also called as ethenyl group at times.
Straight Chain Hydrocarbons
The requirement to identify each compound needs a richer number of words than informative prefixes like n and iso. The identification of organic molecules is made easier by the use of systematic nomenclature schemes. The organic chemistry nomenclature has two types: traditional and systematic. Common names arise in many forms, but share the characteristic that a link through name and form is unnecessary. The name that matches a certain structure clearly must be remembered as knowing a person's name. In contrast, systemic names, including an overall common set of laws, are locked specifically to the chemical structure.
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Following are few examples of alkenes with their general molecular as well as their structural formulas:
Conjugated Compounds in Organic Chemistry
The delocalization of electrons in a molecule is called conjugation in organic chemistry. This delocalisation process of electrons leads to the shortenings or elongations of chemical bonds, but at the same time it causes changes in the chemical properties in conjugated molecules as compared to the non-conjugated ones. For example, conjugated molecules absorb light at longer wavelengths.
Alpha Carbon And Alpha Protons
The carbon directly attached to the functional group in an organic molecule is referred to as the alpha carbon and the hydrogen attached to an alpha carbon are termed as the alpha hydrogens or alpha protons. These alpha carbon atoms and alpha hydrogen atoms are of importance because they undergo certain characteristic reactions in organic chemistry.
![**IUPAC Naming of Organic Compounds**
This educational page explains the process of naming organic compounds using the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system. Below, we walk through the steps involved in determining the correct IUPAC name for the presented compound.
### Example Compound
Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here:
**Structure:**
```
Br Br
| |
CH3—CH—CH—CH3
```
### Naming the Compound
To form the IUPAC name for the given compound, follow these steps:
1. **Identify the Longest Carbon Chain:**
- The presented structure shows a four-carbon chain, making the base name "butane."
2. **Number the Carbon Chain:**
- Number the carbon atoms in the chain such that the substituted carbon atoms get the lowest possible numbers. In this case, numbering from left to right:
```
1 2 3 4
CH3—CH—CH—CH3
|
Br Br
```
3. **Identify and Name Substituents:**
- The substituents in this structure are bromine atoms (Br) attached to the second and third carbon atoms:
- Position 2 has a bromine (2-bromo)
- Position 3 also has a bromine (3-bromo)
4. **Combine the Substituent Names with the Base Name:**
- List the substituents in alphabetical order or in numerical order by their positions along with the base name (butane). The prefixes (di-, tri-) are used for multiple identical substituents:
- 2,3-dibromobutane
### Interactive Components
Below the compound structure, there are various options to help form the correct IUPAC name. These options include prefixes, suffixes, and different substituent names commonly used in organic chemistry:
- **Positional Indicators:** 2,4- 3- 1,3- 2,3- 2- 4-
- **Prefixes/Suffixes:** di sec- cyclo tert- iso tri
- **Base Names and Substituents:** prop bromo but meth chloro pent
- **Hydrocarbon Suffixes:** ene ane yne
These elements can be combined to form the name of a specific compound by choosing](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5707f817-26ef-49f8-a626-ee896014d672%2Ffc7c4caf-4009-44be-9853-903cadc9881c%2Fl2d53qa_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
![### Naming Organic Compounds: IUPAC Naming Practice
#### Question:
**Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here.**
#### Diagram:
A chemical structure is depicted showing a hexagon representing a six-membered carbon ring (cyclohexane) with a chlorine (Cl) atom attached to one of the carbons.
#### Answer Options:
Below the diagram, various selectable segments are provided to construct the IUPAC name. These segments include:
- Numerical prefixes: `2-`, `6-`, `3-`, `5-`, `4-`, `1-`
- Multiplicative prefixes: `tri`, `di`
- Structural prefixes: `sec-`, `tert-`
- Cyclo prefix: `cyclo`
- Isomeric prefix: `iso`
- Substituent groups: `brom`, `chloro`, `bromo`, `chlor`
- Root names and suffixes: `hex`, `ane`, `yne`, `ene`
#### Instructions:
Using the provided segments, construct the correct IUPAC name for the given compound by selecting the appropriate segments and arranging them in the correct order.
#### Explanation:
The structure shows a cyclohexane ring with a single chlorine atom substituting one hydrogen atom. The chlorine is positioned in such a way that it will be given the lowest possible number on the ring for proper naming.
### Solution:
- Identify the main compound: cyclohexane
- Determine the position of the chlorine substituent: Since there is only one substituent, it will automatically be at position 1.
Therefore, combining these parts, the correct IUPAC name for the compound is:
**1-chlorocyclohexane**](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5707f817-26ef-49f8-a626-ee896014d672%2Ffc7c4caf-4009-44be-9853-903cadc9881c%2Fkf2gkve_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
