    Cycloalkanes and Aromatic Rings

    Uploaded by

    Diana Carolina Duarte
    Cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain carbon rings. Cycloalkanes are named based on the parent chain, numbering of carbons, and any branches. Aromatic hydrocarbons can contain benzene rings, which are named as branches using "phenyl." Examples of correctly named cyclic and aromatic compounds are given.

    Cycloalkanes

    • Carbon atoms may bond to each other


    and form a cyclic structure
    Naming Cycloalkanes

    1. The ring that contains the greater number


    of carbon atoms is the parent chain.
    The prefix “cyclo” is placed before the parent
    chain name.
    Parent Chain = Cycloheptane
    Naming Cycloalkanes

    2. The carbon atoms are numbered either clockwise or


    counterclockwise.
    The lowest numbers are used to identify the placement of
    the branches.
    NUMBER ACCORDING TO ALPHABETICAL
    ORDER
    1
    Naming Cycloalkanes
    3. Name the branches.

    1-ethyl
    2,5-dimethyl
    Naming Cycloalkanes
    4. Name the compound.

    1-ethyl-2,5-dimethyl
    cycloheptane
    Naming Cycloalkanes
    If the ring structure is not the longest continuous
    carbon chain, then it is named as a branch with prefix
    “cyclo” and ends in “yl.”
    Parent: pentane
    Branch: 2-cyclobutyl
    Compound:
    2-cyclobutylpentane
    Naming Cycloalkanes

    1. Parent Chain.
    2. Number the parent chain.
    3. Name the branches.
    4. Name the compound

    1,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexane
    Naming Cycloalkanes

    1. Parent Chain.
    2. Number the parent chain.
    3. Name the branches.
    4. Name the compound

    1,1-dimethyl-3-propyl-cyclopentane
    Naming Cycloalkanes
    1. Parent Chain.
    2. Number the parent chain.
    3. Name the branches.
    4. Name the compound

    2-cyclopropyl-pentane
    Aromatic
    Hydrocarbons

    • Benzene is a hydrocarbon with six carbon


    atoms in a ring.
    • It has the molecular formula C6H6
    Aromatic
    Hydrocarbons

    • There is more than one way of drawing its Lewis structure.


    • Equivalent Lewis structures are called resonance structures.
    Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    • Can also be drawn as:


    1,2-
    dimethylbenzene
    Naming • Some organic compounds have benzene as a
    Aromatic branch.
    In this case, the branch name is “phenyl”
    Hydrocarbons
    Naming Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    1. Parent Chain.
    2. Number parent chain.
    3. Name the branches.
    4. Name the compound

    2,5-diethyl, 4-methylbenzene
    Naming Aromatic Hydrocarbons

    1. Parent Chain.
    2. Number parent chain.
    3. Name the branches.
    4. Name the compound
    2-phenylhexane
    Friedel-Crafts Alkylation
