Bane CoN SIHSUMMARY OF ORGANIC NAMING RULES
. Name the longest carbon chain with the root number of carbons.
N
Number the carbon chain so that functional groups with the highest priority
have the lowest possible numbers.
w
. Greek prefixes di(2), tri(3), tetra(4), penta(5) etc are used to indicate the
presence of more than one of the same type of group.
4. Substitutions (alkyl, halide groups, amines) are named as prefixes with a
number indicating the location of the substitution (Ex: 1,2,3-
trichloropropane)
5, Functional groups are named as suffixes, and where appropriate, with a
number indicating the location of the group (Ex: alcohols, ketones require a
number, aldehydes, amides, carboxylic acids do not).
6. Tf more than one functional group is present, the functional groups with the ‘ _
highest priority are named last in the suffixes (Ex: penta-1-ol-3-one) A
