Many of these sub stances were subsequently shown to contain benzene rings. We start to see that aromatic compounds are cyclic compounds, containing a certain number of conjugated double bonds. Naming aromatic compounds benzene and phenyl in organic chemistry duration. Aromatic compounds have substantial resonance stabilization benzene is aromatic. By definition, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have multiple cycles, precluding benzene from being considered a pah.
Though trivial names are not recommended, iupac rules allow their use with common aromatic compounds, such as methylbenzene toluene, hydroxybenzene phenol, and aminobenzene. If different carbon atoms are joined together to form open chain of carbon atoms with single bonds, they are termed as alkanes as you have already studied in unit 12. Weve done tons of iupac nomenclature for simple molecules, but once we start introducing multiple rings, things get trickier. The products follow an andersonschulzflory distribution but with at least one important. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special type of cyclic compounds. Unsaturated hydrocarbons include the alkenes c n h 2n in which there is at least one carboncarbon double bond. Aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds that contain a benzene ring structure.
Benzene has been known since 1825 when it was first isolated by michel faraday. Naphthalene, with its two rings, is considered the simplest polycyclic aromatic. For example, a benzene ring attached to a onenitro group is named as nitrobenzene. Petroleum and natural gas are the major sources of aliphatic hydrocarbon while coal is an important source of aromatic hydrocarbons. Naming aromatic compounds aromatic compounds are cyclic hydrocarbons containing a benzene structure. These compounds are called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pahs an aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of fused benzene rings sharing a common side. Introduction to organic nomenclature alkanes, hydrocarbons, and functional groups. Iupac nomenclature of aromatic hydrocarbons is explained below. An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene or sometimes aryl hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon with sigma bonds and delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms forming a circle. Benzene can be represented by the resonance structures.
The actual structure of benzene, however, is a resonance hybrid of these two structure usually written as. For each of the following iupac names draw a structural diagram. Nomenclature of aromatic compounds trivial names are more commonly used for aromatic compounds than is the case with other compound families in organic chemistry. Hydrocarbons introduction organic chemistry tutorial. Naming rules for organic compounds the names of organic molecules are divided into three parts. The term aromatic was assigned before the physical mechanism determining aromaticity was discovered. The ring of six carbon atoms in aromatic compounds is known as a benzene ring, after the simplest possible hydrocarbon ring, benzene.
Today, an aromatic compound is any compound that contains a benzene ring or has certain benzenelike properties but not necessarily a strong aroma. It should be noted that a number of heterocyclic ring systems conjugated ring systems. These compounds comprise a distinct class, called aromatic hydrocarbons. Each corner of the hexagon has a carbon atom with a hydrogen attached. The replacement nomenclature thus, aza, oxa, and thia are prefixes for a nitrogen ring atom, an oxygen ring atom, and a sulfur ring atom, respectively. The selective conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons using a zsm5 catalysts was a significant discovery. Unfortunately, this book cant be printed from the openbook. Alkanes, hydrocarbons, class 11 the acyclic saturated hydrocarbons are called paraffins since they are relatively unreactive towards most of the reagents such as acids, bases oxidizing and reducing agents. Alkadienes and polyunsaturated hydrocarbons 22 naphthalene can be represented by three resonance structures. Short summary of iupac nomenclature of organic compounds. This is structure and nomenclature of aromatic compounds, section. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons aromatic compounds can have rings that share a set of carbon atoms fused rings compounds from fused benzene or aromatic heterocyclic rings are themselves aromatic naphthalene. Download in free pdf hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen. If you dont understand this structure, it is explained in full in two pages on the structure of benzene elsewhere in this site.
In replacement nomenclature, the heterocycles name is composed of the carbocycles name and a prefix that denotes the heteroatom. According to iupac nomenclature of substituted aromatic compounds, the substituent name is placed as a prefix to the name of aromatic compounds. Ez isomers in alkenes 6 iii alkynes 8 iv combined alkenes and alkynes 8 v cyclic hydrocarbons 9 3. To name a hydrocarbon, first one must utilize the number of carbons in each hydrocarbon chain to come up with a prefix for the hydrocarbon name. Similar compounds include chrysene, pyrene, benzoapyrene. These cyclic hydrocarbons with alternating double and single carbon carbon. If you need to print pages from this book, we recommend downloading it as a pdf. All deviations, either multiple bonds or atoms other than carbon and hydrogen, are indicated by prefixes or suffixes according to a specific set of priorities.
Write the mathematical formula for the ratio of carbon to hydrogen for each compound to determine the pattern. The most basic type of organic compound is one made up exclusively of sp3 carbons covalently bonded to other carbons and hydrogens through sigma bonds only. Naming aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, solution lsm 1. Most of aromatic compounds contain benzene ring and are known as benzenoids.
