naming organic compounds functional groups

When a molecule contains more than one similar functional groups, then, the word di (for 2), tri (for 3), etc., is added before the secondary suffix, of the functional group. While adding such words, the vowel 'e' of primary suffix is retained. For example: ..

Naming Compounds with More Than One Similar Functional Groups - When a molecule contains more than one similar functional groups, then, the word di (for 2), tri (for 3), etc., is added before the secondary suffix, of the functional..

Functional groups containing nitrogen are present in a variety of naturally occurring and man made organic compounds. These functional groups impart physico- chemical characteristics to these molecules. These groups are res..

Alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are compounds with functional groups containing oxygen. An alcohol contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups(s) attached to aliphatic carbon atom(s). For e.g., ethyl alcohol formula CH 3..

Introduction - The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. All organic compounds can be derived from hydrocarbons by substituting a hydrogen atom with a suitable functional group. Replacing a hydrogen atom by a OH group in a..

When the molecule contains two or more dissimilar functional groups, the parent chain is so chosen so as to contain maximum possible number of functional groups. The numbering of the parent chain is done so that the functional group of hig..

Aromatic compounds are those carbocyclic compounds that contain at least one benzene ring. The ring of six carbons in benzene or any of its derivatives is termed benzene ring or nucleus. A benzene ring may be represented in any of the following way..

Introduction - Alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are compounds with functional groups containing oxygen. An alcohol contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups(s) attached to aliphatic carbon atom(s). For e.g., ethyl alcohol for..

Summary - Alcohols and Phenols are compounds containing -OH as the functional groups. In alcohols, the -OH group is attached to sp 3 hybridised carbon. In phenols, it is attached to sp 2 hybridised carbon of an aromatic ring. In ethers, oxygen atom is attache..
