4. http://www.ajsmidi.com/allsongs_1/bevrlyh.html Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, Then one day he was shootin at some food, And up through the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea. Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire, Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there" Said "Californy is the place you ought to be" So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars. Well now its time to say good by to Jed and all his kin. And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin in. You're all invited back a gain to this locality To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?.

19. Summary: IUPAC Rules for Alkane Nomenclature Find and name the longest continuous carbon chain. 1. Find and name the longest continuous carbon chain. AKA: parent chain. 2. Number the chain consecutively, starting at the end nearest an attached group (substituent). 2. Number the chain consecutively, starting at the end nearest an attached group (substituent). 3. Identify and name groups attached to this chain. (Examples: methyl-, bromo-, etc.) 3. Identify and name groups attached to this chain. (Examples: methyl-, bromo-, etc.) 4. Designate the location of each substituent group with the number of the carbon parent chain on which the group is attached. Place a dash between numbers and letters. (Example: 3-chloropentane) 5. Assemble the name, listing groups in alphabetical order. The prefixes di, tri, tetra etc., used to designate several groups of the same kind, are not considered when alphabetizing. Place a comma between multiple numbers. (Example: 2,3-dichloropropane) 5. Assemble the name, listing groups in alphabetical order. The prefixes di, tri, tetra etc., used to designate several groups of the same kind, are not considered when alphabetizing. Place a comma between multiple numbers. (Example: 2,3-dichloropropane)

20. Step 1. Find the parent chain. Where is the longest continuous chain of carbons?Where is the longest continuous chain of carbons?

21. Endings Alkanes (all C-C single bonded parent chain) end in –aneAlkanes (all C-C single bonded parent chain) end in –ane –Methane CH 4 –Ethane C 2 H 6 –Propane C 3 H 8 Attached carbon groups (substituents) end in –ylAttached carbon groups (substituents) end in –yl –Methyl CH 3 - –Ethyl CH 3 CH 2 - –Propyl CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 – –Propyl CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 – 3-ethylpentane

22. Step 2. Number the parent chain. Number the parent chain so that the attached groups are on the lowest numbers 1 2 3 4 5 Methyl is on carbon #2 of the parent chain 5 4 3 2 1 Methyl is on carbon #4 of the parent chain GREEN is the right way for this one! 1 2 3 7 8 4 5 6 8 7 6 2 1 5 4 3 Groups on 2, 3, and 5 Groups on 4, 6, and 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Groups on 2 and 5 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Groups on 3 and 6

23. Step 3. Name the attached groups. Carbon (alkyl) groupsCarbon (alkyl) groups –Methyl CH 3 - –Ethyl CH 3 CH 2 - –Propyl CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 – HalogensHalogens –Fluoro (F-) –Chloro (Cl-) –Bromo (Br-) –Iodo (I-)

24. Step 4. Designate where the group is attached to the parent chain. Use the numbers of the parent chain from step 2 to designate the location of the attached groups to the parent chain. 1 2 3 4 5 2-methyl

25. Step 5. Alphabetize the groups, combine like groups, and assemble. The prefixes di, tri, tetra etc., used to designate several groups of the same kindThe prefixes di, tri, tetra etc., used to designate several groups of the same kind Prefixes are not considered when alphabetizing (Example: dimethyl = m for alphabetizing)Prefixes are not considered when alphabetizing (Example: dimethyl = m for alphabetizing) Parent chain goes LASTParent chain goes LAST 1,1,1-trichloro-1- fluoromethane 1,1-dichloro-1,1- difluoromethane

27. Structural Formulas “Lazy” way to write the Hydrogens Instead of drawing the bonds, just state how many hydrogens are attached NOTE: The bonds are between CARBONS in a parent chain, and not hydrogens! Structural Formula Lewis Structure

28. Order of Priority IN A TIE, halogens get the lower number before alkyl groupsIN A TIE, halogens get the lower number before alkyl groups 4-chloro-2-methylpentane or 2-chloro-4-methylpentane?

29. Order of Priority IN A TIE between SIMILAR GROUPS, the group lower ALPHABETICALLY gets the lower numberIN A TIE between SIMILAR GROUPS, the group lower ALPHABETICALLY gets the lower number 4-bromo-2-chloropentane or 2-bromo-4-chloropentane ?

30. Isomers Straight chain alkanes: Straight chain alkanes: – Alkane with straight carbon back bone Branched chain alkanes: Branched chain alkanes: –Alkane with a branching connection of carbons. Isomers: Isomers: –Same molecular formula but different structures.

31. Only one possible atom arrangement methane (CH 4 ) ethane (C 2 H 6 )propane (C 3 H 8 )

33. Butane (C 4 H 10 ): 2 isomers linear alkane or branched alkane linear alkane or branched alkane

34. Isomers are completely different compounds. Varied Structures Physical properties (MP, BP)

35. Types of Carbon Atoms Primary carbon (1 o )Primary carbon (1 o ) –a carbon bonded to one other carbon one other carbon Secondary carbon (2 o )Secondary carbon (2 o ) –a carbon bonded to two other carbons two other carbons Tertiary carbon (3 o )Tertiary carbon (3 o ) –a carbon bonded to three other carbons three other carbons
