IUPAC nomenclature
The international union of pure and applied chemistry (IUPAC) has organised a principle by which organic compounds are named. This principle includes:
- Identify the functional group
- Locating the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
- Identified the substituent groups attached
- Give the substituent groups the lowest low count
- Combine the above to get the name
How to name the compound
- The functional group is alkane since it contains only single bonds
- The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus the parent name is pentane.
- Two methyl (CH₃) groups are attached
- The methyl (CH₃) groups are located at carbon 2 and 3
- The name of the compound is 2, 3-dimethlypentane
