Document Summary
Chapter 4 nomenclatures and conformations of alkanes and cycloalkanes. 4. 1a sources of alkanes: petroleum: petroleum is main source of alkanes. It is a complex mix of organic compounds. 4. 3 how to name alkanes, alkyl halides and alcohols: the iupac system. A: all alkanes have ending -ane, methane (1c), ethane (2c), propane (3c), butane (4c), pentane (5c), hexane (6c), Heptane (7c), octane (8c), nonane (9c), decane (10c), undecane (11), dodecane (12c), tridecane (13c), tetradecane (14c), pentadecane (15c), hexadecane (16c), Heptadecane (17c), octadecane (18c), nonedecane (19c), eiocosane (20c) 4. 3b how to name branched chain alkanes: 1. Locate longest continuous chain of carbon atoms; chain determines parent name for alkane: 2. Number the longest chain beginning with end of chain nearer substituent: 3. Use numbers obtained by application of rule 2 to designate location of substituent group (parents name is placed last while substituent number and name is placed first: 4.
