Important for proper working order of human body (examples: steroids – testosterone and estrone, cholesterol) • Important medicinal uses – ex. Budesonide (asthma treatment) 3. Cholesterol
In some hydrocarbons the carbons at the ends of the chain join together to form a ring and are called cyclic hydrocarbons.
Naming Cyclic Hydrocarbons Cycloalkanes are named using the alkane parent with the prefix cyclo. cyclopropane cyclobutane cyclopentane cyclohexane cycloheptane
The general formula for the cycloalkanes is CnH2n. • With what homologous series are cycloalkanes isomeric? • Alkene
Naming Branched Cycloalkanes • If there is only one branch, no number is needed. CH2–CH3 ethylcyclohexane methylcyclopentane
If there are two branches, the # 1 carbon would be the one with substituent listed first in the alphabet. • Number toward the second branch in the direction which yields the lower number for the carbon bearing that second branch. CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 – CH2 1,1-dimethylcyclopropane 1-ethyl-3-ethylcyclohexane
When more than two branches are resent, each must have the lowest possible position number. CH2–CH3 1-ethyl-5-methyl-3-propylcycloheptane 1-ethyl-4-methyl-6-propylcycloheptane CH3–CH2–CH2 CH3
Naming Cycloalkenes • If double bond is present in the ring structure, you must follow the same rules as for alkenes. • DOUBLE BOND GETS PRIORITY FOR THE LOWEST NUMBER!!! CH3 CH3 CH3 – CH2 3-methyl-1-cyclohexene 5-ethyl-3-methyl-1-cyclohexene
