Greetings,
This post begins where the last left off. Now, we'll look at the nomenclature for a hydrocarbon alkane with alkyl groups attached. There are three main points to remember:
The following diagram lists the common alkyl groups and provides a nomenclature example. The current chemistry student should practice a number of these.
As you can see, the naming convention is systematic and actually quite simple with a little practice.
That's all for now. As always, thank you for reading!

This post begins where the last left off. Now, we'll look at the nomenclature for a hydrocarbon alkane with alkyl groups attached. There are three main points to remember:
- Identify the longest "straight chain".
- Number the carbon atoms of the longest chain beginning with the nearest alkyl branch.
- Use commas to separate parts and use the appropriate prefix for duplicate or triplicate branches.
