Description: What is each compound's systematic name?

Key Concepts

IUPAC Nomenclature

IUPAC nomenclature is the system established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry to provide unique and standardized names for chemical compounds. Its structured rules help convey the detailed composition and structure of compounds, ensuring clarity and uniformity in chemical communications worldwide.

Systematic Naming of Organic Compounds

Systematic naming for organic compounds involves identifying the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, recognizing and naming substituents and functional groups, and assigning correct locants. This methodical approach allows chemists to deduce the molecular structure from the name and maintain consistency in naming across different compounds.

Systematic Naming of Inorganic Compounds

For inorganic compounds, systematic naming includes following agreed-upon conventions that often involve indicating oxidation states, names of ligands or polyatomic ions, and the overall composition of the compound. This systematic approach ensures that even complex inorganic species are named in a clear and unambiguous manner.

Transcript

00:07 In this question, we are assigning systematic names to each of these compounds.

00:12 So starting with a, we're going to number this along the longest carbon chain so that either one of the pie bonds ends up the lowest number that it can be.

00:22 So that we'll start over here.

00:24 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

00:28 So this is a seven carbon chain.

00:31 We have methyl groups at three and six.

00:34 So three, six, die, and then we have our, so seven carbon chain, so that's hept.

00:45 And then we have an al -keen at number two, so two -een, and we have an al -kind at number four, so four, ein.

00:54 And then we also need to acknowledge the stereochemistry of this double bond right here.

00:59 So to do that, we'll decide if it's e or z.

01:02 And to do that, we will look at each side and figure out what the most important thing on each side is.

01:08 So over here, it's the methyl group, and on the other side it is this whole side of the molecule.

01:14 And because those are both below the double bond, that makes this z.

01:18 So this will be 2z.

01:22 Oops, this is a 2, not a 3.

01:26 Oh, no, i was right before.

01:29 2z, 3 ,6, thy methyl hept 2in, 4.

01:33 For b, again, we want a number, so let the alkyne is the lowest it can be, that's the only really big thing we've got going on here.

01:41 So we'll start from this side.

01:42 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

01:48 We do have a couple of substituents.

01:51 We have a methyl group and a tert -butal group.

01:55 So on five, we have tert -butal.

01:59 And on two, we have methyl.

02:03 And then our al -kine is on number three...
