Naming Alkenes and Naming Alkenes and AlkynesAlkynes

IUPAC nomenclature rules for alkenes IUPAC nomenclature rules for alkenes and alkynes are similar to alkanes. and alkynes are similar to alkanes. Step 1Step 1. Name the parent compound. . Name the parent compound. Find the longest chain Find the longest chain containing the containing the double or triple bonddouble or triple bond, and name the , and name the parent compound by adding the suffix parent compound by adding the suffix –ene or –yne–ene or –yne to the name of the main to the name of the main chain.chain.

Step 2:Step 2: Number the carbon atoms in the Number the carbon atoms in the parent chain, beginning at the end nearest parent chain, beginning at the end nearest to the double or triple bond. If the multiple to the double or triple bond. If the multiple bond is an equal distance from both ends, bond is an equal distance from both ends, begin numbering at the end nearer the first begin numbering at the end nearer the first branch point. The number indicates which branch point. The number indicates which carbon the multiple bond is AFTER. (i.e. carbon the multiple bond is AFTER. (i.e. between 2 and 3 is 2-)between 2 and 3 is 2-) Step 3:Step 3: Assign numbers and names to the Assign numbers and names to the branching substituents, and list the branching substituents, and list the substituents alphabetically. Use commas to substituents alphabetically. Use commas to separate numbers, and hyphens to separate separate numbers, and hyphens to separate words from numbers.words from numbers.

Step 4.Step 4. Indicate the position of Indicate the position of the multiple-bond carbon. If more the multiple-bond carbon. If more than one multiple bond is present, than one multiple bond is present, identify the position of each multiple identify the position of each multiple bond and use the appropriate ending bond and use the appropriate ending diene, triene, tetraene, and so forth.diene, triene, tetraene, and so forth.
