Table 2.4 subordinate groups. we will go through several examples for more details about the naming rules. 1. the parent structure is the 6 carbon carboxylic acid with a double bond, so the last name comes from “hexene”. to add the suffix, the last letter “e” will be dropped, so the parent name is “hexeneoicacid”. We need some kind of priority system for nomenclature. and so, iupac (think of the “ministry of magic”, but for chemists) has developed one. if you have a molecule with, say, a carboxylic acid and a ketone you consult the table. he functional group with the highest priority will be the one which gives its suffix to the name of the molecule.

3. lowest sum rule. 4. alphabetical order rule (naming of substituents) 5. complex alkyl substituent rule. 6. multiple functional group rule. priority order of functional groups in iupac nomenclature. The iupac system of nomenclature is a universally recognized method for naming organic chemical compounds. the goal of the system is to provide each organic compound with a unique and unambiguous name based on its chemical formula and structure. the name of any organic compound consists of three essential parts: the root word, prefix, and. Naming organic compounds. names for straight chain alkanes: drawing abbreviated organic structures: contributors and attributions; functional groups are structural units within organic compounds that are defined by specific bonding arrangements between specific atoms. the structure of capsaicin, the compound discussed in the beginning of this. Example: 2,2,3 trimethyl . if there are both double bonds and triple bonds, "en" (double bond) is written before "yne" (triple bond). when the main functional group is a terminal functional group (a group which can exist only at the end of a chain, like formyl and carboxyl groups), there is no need to number it.
