Nomenclature and isomerism
in organic chemistry
- 1 carbon = meth-
- 2 carbon = eth-
- 3 carbon = prop-
- 4 carbon = but-
- 5 carbon = pent-
- 6 carbon = hex-
- 7 carbon = hept-
- Alkanes
- alkanes in a carbon ring
are given the prefix cyclo-
- Single bonds
- Suffix -ane
- Alkenes
- Double bonds
- Suffix -ene
- Stereoisomerism
- Two or more compounds have the same
structural formula, but differ in the arrangement
of bonds in space
- E-Z isomerism
- When each double bonded
carbon has two different atoms
or groups attached to it
- You can't rotate a double bond
- E = apart
- Z = together
- Optical isomerism
- Structural isomerism
- Have different functional groups
- The functional groups are attached to the
main chain at different points
- They have a different arrangement of carbon
atoms in the skeleton of the molecule
