8. Nomenclature
• Select the longest continuous carbon chain.
– This determines the base name.
• Consider each branch and name similarly except
change the name from –ane to –yl.
• Number the C atoms so that substituents have the
lowest possible number.
Prentice-Hall General Chemistry: ChapterSlide 8 of 75
27

9. Nomenclature
• Name each substituent according to its identity
and the number of the C atom to which it is
attached.
– Use di, tri, tetra as appropriate.
• Separate numbers from one another by commas.
• List substituents alphabetically by name.
