    1. Naming Organic Compounds Created by L. Scheffler, Lincoln High School Modified by K. Slater

    2. Originally compounds were named based on their source or use Many organic compounds were given common names which are still in use However many ambiguities resulted With the large number of organic compounds, a method for systematically naming them is very important

    3. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists (IUPAC) developed a system for naming organic compounds. This system eliminated many of the ambiguities that plagued earlier naming systems Common names for many substances are still widely used

    4. A series of prefixes are used to designate the number of carbon atoms in a carbon chain

    5. For straight chain hydrocarbons. The prefix indicates the number of carbon atoms. The suffix ane is added to designate that the compound is an alkane

    6. For branched chain hydrocarbons, identify the longest consecutive (straight) chain first. Then name the side chains or branches. The name of the branches end in “yl” and go before the name of the straight chain

    7. Alkenes have one (or more) carbon to carbon double bonds When there are 4 or more carbon atoms in a chain, the location of the double bond is indicated by a number. Numbering the location of the double bond(s) takes precedence over the location of side chains
