What is the easiest way to find the Iupac name?
Start with the carbon at the end closest to the functional group. Look for any branched groups: Name them by counting the number of carbon atoms in the branched group and referring to Table 4.6, these groups will all end in -yl. Note the position of the group on the main carbon chain.
What is IUPAC method?
In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol.
How do you name a complex organic compound?
Organic Compounds Follow a Similar Naming Pattern
- Prefix = substituent.
- First Name = carbon chain number.
- Last Name = type of chain.
- Suffix = highest priority functional group.

| propane | propyl | CH3CH2CH2– |
| isopropyl | (CH3)2CH– |
How do you write the IUPAC name of a compound?
If a given compound contains chloro, bromo or Iodo group, then the IUPAC name of those compounds is written like the rule above. The name of the group is written before the name of the corresponding alkane and before that the status of the group is displayed.
How do you write the IUPAC name of a nitro group?
If nitro (-NO2) group is present in a given compound, then the IUPAC name of that compound is also written like the above rule. Write the name of the group before the name of the corresponding alkane and display the status number of the group by writing it.
How do you write the IUPAC name of an alkane?
Write the name of the corresponding alkane and the name of the alkyl group together or put a hyphen between them. Thus, by putting a hyphen before the name obtained, we also write down the number of carbon atoms carrying the lateral chain. Thus the IUPAC name of the given compound is obtained.
How do you write the IUPAC name of acid anhydride?
To write the name of acid anhydride, remove the ‘acid’ from the end of the name of the respective acid and write it as ‘anhydride’. Example: (CH3CO)2O is an acid anhydride. It is an anhydride of CH3COOH. The IUPAC name of CH3COOH is ethanoic acid, so the IUPAC name of (CH3CO)2O is ethanoic anhydride.
