NAMING OF ALKENES
✘ Naming alkenes follows the same rules we discussed
earlier for the IUPAC nomenclature rules for alkanes.
✘ This is the brief summary of the steps:
✘ Step 1. Identify the parent chain.
✘ Step 2. Identify the substituents.
✘ Step 3. Number the parent chain.
✘ Step 4. Put everything together having the substituents in
alphabetical order.

THE FUNCTIONAL
GROUPS
What are Functional Groups?
Functional groups are specific substituents
within molecules that may be responsible
for the characteristic chemical reactions of
those molecules.
ALKYL HALIDES
ALKYL HALIDES
GENERAL FORMULA: R-X
r = alkyl group
X = halogen (F, Cl, Br, I)
Alkyl halides (also known as haloalkanes)
are compounds in which one or more
hydrogen atoms in an alkane have been
replaced by halogen atoms (fluorine,
chlorine, bromine or iodine).
NAMING OF ALKYL HALIDES
NAMING OF ALKYL HALIDES
Step 1. Find the parent chain. The longest possible chain consists of eight
carbons, so the parent chain is octane:
Step 2. Find the substituents. Here, we have three
substituents – two alkyl groups and a halide:

Step 3. Number the parent chain giving the lowest possible
numbers to the substituents. If there is a tie for the first locant,
compare the second and then the third locants.
56
Step 4. Put the parent chain and substituents together
by placing the substituents in alphabetical order:

USES OF ALKYL HALIDES
ALCOHOL
ALCOHOLS
GENERAL FORMULA: R-OH
r = alkyl group
oh = hydroxyl group
Alcohol is an organic compound that
carries at least one hydroxyl functional
group bound to a saturated carbon atom.

ALDEHYDES &
KETONES
ALDEHYDES
GENERAL FORMULA: RCHO
KETONES
GENERAL FORMULA: R2CO
r = alkyl group
h = hydrogen
c=o = carbonyl group
Aldehydes are any of a class of organic
compounds in which a carbon atom shares a
double bond with an oxygen atom, a single bond
with a hydrogen atom, and a single bond with
another atom or group of atoms (designated R in
general chemical formulas and structure
diagrams).
Ketone is a functional group with the
structure R₂C=O, where R can be a variety
of carbon-containing substituents. Ketones
contain a carbonyl group. The simplest
ketone is acetone, with the formula
CH₃CCH₃.

CARBOXYLIC ACIDS
CARBOXYLIC ACID
GENERAL FORMULA: RCOOH
r = alkyl group
oh = hydroxyl group
c=o = carbonyl group
(C=O-OH = carboxyl group)
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains
a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-
group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is
R–COOH, with R referring to the alkyl group.
Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important
examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.
