Seventh Meeting: August 1, 2011 - Functional Groups and Nomenclature

    Organic compounds are named according to the internationally accepted conventions of IUPAC. This system of nomenclature is summarized as follows:

  • The highest priority in the functional groups present should be the suffix name.
  • The longest carbon chain provides the stem name. The stem names are derived from the names of hydrocarbons.
  • The carbon chain is numbered, keeping minimum values for the suffix group.
  • Side-chain substituents are added as prefixes with appropriate numbering, listing them alphabetically.
