Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC. The naming of organic compound is done in such a way that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.

Rules for writing the structural formula from IUPAC are:

• First identify the word root for the given compound.

• The suffix used in the compound like –ane, ene, yne, ol, al and so on.

• Identify the position, location, and number of the substituent bonded to the carbon chain.

Aldehydes and ketones contain carbonyl functional group in their parent chain and are named by adding suffix –al and –one to the name of the parent alkane.
