Naming

[Susan Lei]

What is the first guideline for IUPAC naming of organic compounds?

[VictoriaRoderick_3A]

Start with the parent chain and then focus on the number of bonds, functional groups, and substituents.

Remember to keep the numbers as low as possible!

[Daniel Zhang 1E]

Keep in mind that triple bonds have priority for lowest numbering in alkynes

[Kurtis Lavelle 1k]

Also keep in mind that the order of priority for assigning the number to a carbon goes functional group, number of bonds, and then substituents.

First, it should indicate how the carbon atoms of a given compound are bonded together in a characteristic lattice of chains and rings. Second, it should identify and locate any functional groups present in the compound.
