naming organic 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 Different Functional Groups - 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. T..

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 responsible f..

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 , CH 2 , ..

When an atom or group of atoms bonded to a carbon atom in the chain or ring of an organic compound, shown some characteristic properties of their own, they are termed as a functional group. Thus, a functional group is an atom or ..
