Naming Alkanes
Hey, guys, In this new video, we're gonna continue with our discussion of naming Al Canes. So in this first one, we're asked to name the following Alcan compound. What we need to realize here is that here we have a rank. So this is a cyclic al cane and because it's in a ring, we say cyclo. And here it has six carbon. Because remember, every edge, every corner is a carbon. So there's six carbons within this rink, so it's gonna be called cyclo because it's cyclic. Six carbons is heck sane. So this is a cyclo hexane. Now you wanna number this? Um, you wanna number the carbons in the ring in a way that these groups, which are substitue INTs which didn't get numbered, get the lowest numbers possible? What does that mean? That means that I want to count either. 4123 He really doesn't matter because it's symmetrical both ways. So let's go with the first way we're gonna stay here, that this is one carbon a ch three. So this is a metal. So again it becomes a point that you guys remember what these groups look like here. This is three carbons connected to something. So this is a probable And again this is a method, so m before p so alphabetical order for substitue INTs. There are two metals, so that's dimethyl. They're located on carbons one in three. So this will be 13 dime Ethel and notice how the numbers are grouped together and separated by a comma. But numbers and words are separated by a hyphen. And then the propose on carbon to so hyphen to hyphen because that propose on carbon to two pro pool cyclo heck, sane. And that should all be one word. So I'm gonna move it closer. So that would be the name off our compound and again because we're dealing with a ring, we use the word cyclone now. So now that we've attempted this one, take a look at the next one. And once you figure out what it could possibly be named, click on the next video and see an example of me going over it and see if your answer matches mine
