Naming Cycloalkanes and Bicyclo Alkanes
Are you struggling with organic chemistry? Download my free ebook "10 Secrets To Acing Organic Chemistry" here: leah4sci.com/orgo-ebook/
leah4sci.com/organicchemistry/ presents: Naming Cycloalkane and Bicyclo alkanes
This video is Part 5 in the Naming Organic Compounds series
This video shows you how to name organic molecules that are fused into a single or double ring compound including substituted cyclic and bicyclic alkanes
Many students struggle with naming because they attempt to come up with the entire name at once and often wind up missing a piece or two. After this series you won't have that problem anymore

Excellent video. Just wanted to ask in 5:19 how do I decide which gets higher priority i.e. why not start 1 from the lonely methyl group ? Is there a priority order or are we to apply ethyl being aplhabetically earlier than methyl gets 1 ?
@corybenz5667
7 жыл бұрын
If you start at the lone methyl group and number it 1, than number the ethyl and methyl group above as both 3, the name will be: 3-ethyl-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane. In comparison, by starting with both the ethyl and methyl as 1 (as leah did) and the lone methyl as 3, the name is: 1-ethyl-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane Comparing the two names: 3-ethyl-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane 1-ethyl-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane (Leah) Notice how leah's name gives a lower number (1) than the other number (3) for the ethyl group. REMEMBER: YOU WANT TO HAVE THE LOWEST NUMBER POSSIBLE FOR EACH GROUP WHEN NAMING, hence 1 is lower than 3. Also, the reason why ethyl is written before methyl is because e comes before m in the alphabet. You DON'T include: di, tri, tetra, etc. in the name when comparing which is first in the alphabet. B(utyl) before E(thyl) before M(ethyl) before P(ropyl) (carbons 1-4) Hope this helped

The other "common name" butyl substituents will be treated in the same way -- so "secbutyl" and "tertbutyl" will be treated as if they begin with "S" and "T", respectively, for the purposes of alphabetizing. I realize you wrote this question a long time ago, so you may have learned this a long time ago. But I wanted to make sure to answer, just in case :)
5:23 can I just write 1-ethylmethyl-3-methyl-cyclyohexane or would that be wrong?
@Leah4sci
3 жыл бұрын
That would be incorrect. The IUPAC rules dictate that we name similar substituents together, along with a prefix to denote how many of those substituents are present on the molecule. In this case, the two methyl groups get named as “dimethyl” with the locants of those two methyl groups listed in front. Hope this helps!
hi! great videos, really helping me understand organic chem! i have a question though... when writing the # of carbons on each side of the ring for a bicycloalkane, in BRACKETS [2, 2, 1] for example. Whats the order in the brackets? is it right, left, bridge, or left, right, bridge? or left, bridge, right? thanks!

I am confused on how you numbered the carbon atoms @4:25. Can I go the other way around by starting from the bottom (with an attached C atom as 1-methyl) as my carbon 1? Please help me. Thanks a lot. :D

Your goal is to have the total lowest set of numbers, if you start at the bottom you'll get 1, 3 and 3. But the way I counted you get 1, 1, 3 for a total lower set

iso means that 1 of the 3 carbons which make propyl have 2 methyls on it. this is something u will just have to memorize, as it doesnt follow the IUPAC rules.

In 4:13, I don't think that it is a ring because it is not the longest change because you can get 8 carbons instead of 6. Am I wrong? Pls tell me. Help would be appreciated as I don't want to repeat this mistake again in my upcoming exam.
@Leah4sci
3 жыл бұрын
You've asked a good question. This is a ring at 4:13, and it is treated as a parent chain of 6 carbons. When numbering our parent chain, we do not transition from alkyl groups into the ring itself. Either the ring is the parent chain, or if you have an alkyl group with a greater number of carbons than the ring itself, that alkyl group can be used as the primary parent chain. In this case, the longest alkyl group is 2 carbons, so we treat it as a substituent.
