Lesson 32: Alicylics & Aromatics

ACYLICS:

  • Carbon chains can form two types of "closed" loops
  • Alicylic loops usually made with single bonds
  • If the parent chain is a loop standard naming rules apply with one addition: "cylo" is added in front of the parent chain. 
  • 3 different ways to draw organic compounds: 
                1) Complete structural diagram
                2) Condensed structural diagram 
                3) Line diagram
  • Numbering can start anywhere and go c.w. or c.c.w. on the loop but side chains numbers must be the lowest possible 
  • Loops can also be a side chain
  • Same rules apply but the side chain is given a cyclo -prefix
AROMATICS:
  • Benzene (C6H6) is a cylic hydrocarbon with unique bonds between the carbon atoms
  • Structurally it can be drawn with alternating double bonds 
AROMATIC NOMENCLATURE:
  • A Benzene molecule is given a special diagram to show its unique bond structure
  • Benzene can be a parent chain or a side chain
  • As a side chain is given the name phenyl
