Nomenclature and Properties of Anhydrides, Acyl Halides (eg. Acid Chloride), Nitrile
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss nomenclature and properties of the following organic functional groups: 1. Anhydrides 2. Acyl Halides (eg. Acid Chlorides) 3. Nitriles Anhydrides Note: “Anhydrides” and “Acid Anhydrides” are different names for the same family. Anhydrides are compounds that have 2 carbonyl groups separated by an Oxygen in the shape.…

Nomenclature and Properties of Carboxylic Acids, Alcohols, Thiols, Ethers, Thioethers, Esters
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss nomenclature and properties of the following organic functional groups: 1. Carboxylic Acids 2. Alcohols 3. Thiols (Sulfur Alcohols) 4. Ethers 5. Thioethers 6. Esters Carboxylic Acids Carboxylic acids are a carboxyl group in their shape. I have highlighted the carboxyl group below: When we name these, we…

Further Nomenclature Rules
Now that we’ve covered basic substituents and alkane, alkene, and alkyne families in the previous posts, we will put it all together. Further functional families, such as ethers, carboxylic acids, amides and more, will be discussed in their own blog post. I haven’t introduced them yet to keep it simple, but they will mostly follow…

Nomenclature and Properties of Aldehydes, Ketones, and Related Compounds
Today we will be discussing the following topics: 1. Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Dialdehydes 2. Properties of Aldehydes 3. Nomenclature of Ketones, Diketones and Cyclic Ketones 4. Properties of Ketones 5. Nomenclature of Ketenes 6. Properties of Ketenes Nomenclature of Aldehydes Aldehydes are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group (carbon double bonded to oxygen)…

IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Substituents (cyclo, sec-, iso-, tert-, hydroxy, phenyl, etc)
In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss naming different types of substituents on organic compounds, including both their name and drawing. Note that all substituents are highlighted in blue in the pictures below. Sometimes, some of these groups are not substituents, but rather they are the main functional family – it depends what other…

Organic Nomenclature: Prefixes and Alkane, Alkene, Alkyne Families
In today’s lesson, we will be learning how to name and draw the following organic families (organic families are organic compounds that are categorized into “families” based on similar characteristics, such as having a carbon to oxygen bond, a double bond, a triple bond, a nitrogen group, or more), discussing homologous series, aliphatic vs aromatic…
