Now lets go with more advanced examples and lets apply all iupac rules to get the name. Examples 1 ch 3ch 2cooch 3 derived from a one carbon alcohol, methyl, and three carbon acid, propanoate, so the correct name is methyl propanoate. Naming compounds with more than one functional group use the parent name highest on the priority list alkane iupac naming. When naming organic compounds, the iupac international union of pure and applied chemistry nomenclature naming scheme is used. Aromatic aminesthose in which the n is bonded to at least one aromatic aryl group. B 2methylpentane c 3methylpentane d 2,2dimethylbutane e 2,3dimethylbutane. Pdf students difficulties in iupac naming of organic compounds. Official iupac naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, and the common or trivial name may be used. Naming substituted alkanes and cycloalkanesgroup c substituents only 1. The simplest member of this family is aminobenzene, which is more commonly known as aniline. Indicate the number of carbon atoms in the chain with a prefix followed by the ending ane.
Consequently, the root name of this compound will be pentene. As noted in chapter 4 covalent bonding and simple molecular compounds, an alcohol an organic compound with an oh functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Chemical name by iupac is a well accepted and official nomenclature for naming of organic compounds. Since we are naming alkanes, our first role is to identify the longest chain.
