Nomenclature of common heterocycles-2

All heterocycles in this course are known by their common names.


IUPAC names are formed from:

Heteroatom(s) as prefix + stem + suffix


Nitrogen (N) = Aza
Oxygen (O) = Oxa
Sulphur (S) = Thia
Membered Nitrogen Nitrogen None None
ring Containing Containing Nitrogen Nitrogen
Unsaturated Saturated Unsaturated Saturated
6-membered Stem = in Stem = in Stem = in Stem +
Azine Prefix Suffix =
Pyridine Dihydro- an
(common) Tetrahydro- Dioxan
Perhydro-

6-membered rings are also named by common names but also we can
apply IUPAC rules for naming.

N O

Azine (pyridine) Dioxan


Membered Nitrogen Nitrogen None None
ring Containing Containing Nitrogen Nitrogen
Unsaturated Saturated Unsaturated Saturated
7-membered Stem = epin Stem = epin Stem = epin Stem +
1,4- Prefix Suffix =
diazepine Dihydro- Epan
Tetrahydro-
Perhydro-

7-membered rings are named by IUPAC rules for naming.
