OBJECTIVES:

1. Describe the IUPAC nomenclature classification of organic

compounds
(functional groups, aliphatic and aromatic compounds);
2. Identify the common types of organic compounds and
their uses;
3. Recognize the common functional groups;
4. Be aware of the numerous applications as well as effects
of organic compounds.
IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds

1. An unsaturated hydrocarbon that has at least one carbon—carbon

triple bond.
LKAYNSE ALKYNES

2. An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a carbon – carbon

double bond.
SLAENKE ALKENE
3. any of a large class of unsaturated chemical compounds
characterized by one or more planar rings of atoms joined by covalent
bonds of two different kinds.
RMOATACI DNUOPMOC AROMATIC COMPOUND
IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds
4. A compound of hydrogen and carbon, such as any of those
which are the chief components of petroleum and natural gas
BCAROSNHRODY HYDROCARBONS
5. A hydrocarbon is a compound composed of
only carbon atoms (C) and hydrogen atoms (H).

HYDROCARBONS
HYDROCARBONS
o are organic compounds that are compose
carbon and hydrogen atoms only
ALKANES
o are organic compounds that are compose
carbon and hydrogen atoms only
o are utilized as the premise for naming the larger part of
organic compounds (their classification).
o Alkanes have the common equation CnH2n+2

To understand the name, you need to take the name to
pieces. In the given example
“5-methylex-3-en-2-ol” there are 4 pieces ‘methyl’, ‘hex’, ‘en’
and ‘ol’.
‘methyl’ tells that -CH is present as substituent.
3

‘hex’ tells that there are 6 carbon atoms on parent carbon

chain.
‘en’ tells that there is at least one carbon to carbon double
bond.
‘ol’ tells that there is -OH group (alcohol) as functional group.
Thus, general format for IUPAC name of all compounds is
