Introduction

The IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a systematic method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

Pre-Requisites:

Carbonyl group

Activity:

Ketones.

Real Life Question:

What is Carbonyl group?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Carbonyl group A carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom: C=O.

Gadgets How it can be used
Alcohols Alcohols (R-OH) take the suffix "-ol" with an infix numerical bonding position: CH3CH2CH2OH is propan-1-ol. The suffixes -diol, -triol, -tetraol, etc., are used for multiple -OH groups: Ethylene glycol CH2OHCH2OH is ethane-1, 2-diol.
Real life uses :

Study the nature of chemicals.

Examples Explainations
ketones In general ketones (R-CO-R) take the suffix "-one" (pronounced own, not won) with an infix position number: CH3CH2CH2COCH3 is pentan-2-one. If a higher precedence suffix is in use, the prefix "oxo-" is used: CH3CH2CH2COCH2CHO is 3-oxohexanal.
What you learn in Theory:

The carbonyl group is the highest ranking functional group, and therefore will be the lowest possibly numbered constituent. Aldehydes are higher ranking than ketones.

What you learn in Practice:

The smallest ketone, propanone, is commonly referred to as acetone. Aromatic ketones are aryl-substituted alkanones. If the ketone is present in the ring, then the compound is referred to as a cycloalkanone.
