  Custom eBook for Organic Chemistry, Chapter NW1, Problem 21CTQ

Concept introduction: Systematic way to name different organic compounds is IUPAC nomenclature. It has three parts: root name, suffix, and prefix.

Rules for nomenclature of alkanes:

1 The longest continuous carbon chain is identified first and named in accordance with number of carbon atoms present in it. For example, a hydrocarbon with one carbon atom has prefix “meth”, that with two carbon atoms has prefix “eth”, that with three carbon atoms has prefix “prop” and so on. Suffix used for alkanes is “ane.”

2. Substituents attached to the parent carbon chain are to be identified. These are named by removal of single hydrogen atom from carbon chain end and named by replacement of suffix “ane” by “yl.” For example, if CH3 is used as substituent, it is named as methyl.

3. Carbons of the parent chain are named in such a way that substituents acquire the lowest numbers.

4. If the same substituent is present more than one time in molecule, it is represented by prefix “di”, “tri” and so on. It depends on number of times substituent occurs in molecule.

5. If two or more substituents are present in the molecule, these are named in alphabetical order.

6. If in a molecule, the carbon chain of same length exists then the parent chain will be the one which contains lowest number of substituents.

7. Prefix “cyclo” is used if cyclic alkane is present in a molecule.

Heparin is used as an anti-coagulant. A risk of heparin use is thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count. This risk is minimized with the use of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), therefore it is desirable to separate LMWH from higher molecular weight heparins. The method of choice to do this is molecular exclusion chromatography. Below is a chromatogram from a molecular exclusion chromatographic run. Peaks ranging from A to J are clearly distinguishable. The heparin mixture that was analyzed had anywhere from 6 to 30 repeat units of monomer (where the heparin with 30 repeat units would be roughly five times the size of the heparin with six repeat units). a. Which letter most likely represents the peak with 6 repeat units given these heparin polymers were separated with molecular exclusion chromatography? b. Explain your reasoning describing the mechanism of retention in molecular exclusion chromatography. 100 80 60 60 Relative Abundance 40 40 E GH 20 20 B A 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 50…
