In contrast, aliphatic hydrocarbons lack this delocalization. Today, an aromatic compound is any compound that contains a benzene ring or has certain benzenelike properties but not necessarily a strong aroma. Nomenclature rules saturated hydrocarbons complex substituents unsaturated hydrocarbons one functional group polyfunctional compounds alicyclic compounds aromatic compounds derivatives halo group oh group ethers aldehydes and ketones carboxylic acids. The naming of the ending comes up from the nature of the hydrocarbon. 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. However, benzene does undergo addition reactions in contrast to unsaturated hydrocarbons, although it mainly undergoes substitution reactions. Hydrocarbon nomenclature of alkenes and alkynes britannica.
Most of aromatic compounds contain benzene ring and are known as benzenoids. 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. Benzene can be represented by the resonance structures. Ez isomers in alkenes 6 iii alkynes 8 iv combined alkenes and alkynes 8 v cyclic hydrocarbons 9 3.
This method of naming is iupac naming or iupac nomenclature. These compounds comprise a distinct class, called aromatic hydrocarbons. Weve done tons of iupac nomenclature for simple molecules, but once we start introducing multiple rings, things get trickier. Petroleum and natural gas are the major sources of aliphatic hydrocarbon while coal is an important source of aromatic hydrocarbons. Naming aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, solution lsm 1.
A detailed presentation of the nomenclature of aromatic hydrocarbons is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Nomenclature of aromatic compounds trivial names are more commonly used for aromatic compounds than is the case with other compound families in organic chemistry. If its is alkane, it ends with ane if alkene ene, if alkyne yne. Historically, benzenelike substances were called aromatic hydrocarbons because they had distinctive aromas.
Short summary of iupac nomenclature of organic compounds. For each of the following iupac names draw a structural diagram. Many of these sub stances were subsequently shown to contain benzene rings. This organic chemistry video tutorial explains how to name benzene derivatives using such as monosubstituted derivatives of benzene and disubstituted derivatives of. Saturated hydrocarbons contain carboncarbon and carbonhydrogen single bonds. Alkadienes and polyunsaturated hydrocarbons 22 naphthalene can be represented by three resonance structures. In replacement nomenclature, the heterocycles name is composed of the carbocycles name and a prefix that denotes the heteroatom. 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.

An aromatic hydrocarbon, or arene, is a hydrocarbon ring compound. Hydrocarbons introduction organic chemistry tutorial. The important fuels like petrol, kerosene, coal gas, cng, lpg etc. 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. Many of the compounds have a sweet scent, hence the term aromatic. Nowadays, we use the term aromatic to refer to the class of compounds that. Write the mathematical formula for the ratio of carbon to hydrogen for each compound to determine the pattern. Iupac nomenclature of aromatic hydrocarbons is explained below. By definition, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have multiple cycles, precluding benzene from being considered a pah.

If you dont understand this structure, it is explained in full in two pages on the structure of benzene elsewhere in this site. Iupac nomenclature is based on naming a molecules longest chain of carbons connected by single bonds, whether in a continuous chain or in a ring.
Naming aromatic compounds isnt quite so straightforward as naming chain compounds. Often, more than one name is acceptable and its not uncommon to find the old names still in use as well. According to iupac nomenclature of substituted aromatic compounds, the substituent name is placed as a prefix to the name of aromatic compounds.
