    IUPAC nomenclature provides a systematic way to name organic compounds to avoid confusion. There are 10 main rules for assigning IUPAC names: 1) Identify the longest carbon chain. 2) Select the chain with most branches if multiple possibilities. 3) Number the chain to give the first substituent the lowest number. 4) Minimize the sum of substituent positions. 5) Prioritize substituents alphabetically if sums are equal. 6) Number side chains from the point of attachment. 7) Omit numbers if no ambiguity. 8) Add 'a' after the root for repeated double/triple bonds. 9) Consider double/triple bonds part of the main chain. 10) Remove 'e'

    IUPAC NOMENCLATURE

    FOR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS


    WHY DO WE NEED TO DO THIS?
    • There exist a LARGE number of organic molecules
    • They are the building blocks of all living things
    Why did this happen?
    A simple phospholipid
    Simplifying the Structure
    The Bilayer Sheet
    Cell Membrane
    Another picture of the cell membrane
    Amino Acids

    Rule 1- Identify the longest carbon chain

    Rule 2- If more than 1 possible longest chain exists,


    select the one with maximum number of branches
    Rule 3 – Number the main chain in such a way that
    the first substituent/branch gets the lowest
    possible number
    Rule 4 – Sum Rule – If the position of the first
    substituent from either side is same, then sum of
    positions should be minimized

    Rule 5 – If the sum is also same, the the substituent


    which comes first alphabetically will be given priority
    IUPAC NAME
    • Prefix + Word Root + Primary suffix + Secondary Suffix
    Wordroot
    Complex Substituents
    Rule 6 – Number the side chain
    starting from the carbon
    attached to the main chain
    The propyls and butyls
    An example with multiple complex substituents
    Multiples!

    Rule 7 – Numbers can be omitted from an IUPAC
    name if there is no chance of ambiguity

    Rule 8 – If a double bond or triple bond is repeated, an


    alphabet ‘a’ is added after the wordroot
    Rule 9 – Double/triple bond should be part of main chain, even
    if it means compromising on main chain length
    Rule 10 – If primary suffix is followed by either of the alphabets
    “a,e,i,o,y” then the ‘e’ is removed
