Class 10, Science, Chapter-4, Lecture-3, IUPAC Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons-Part-1 (Notes)
Two systems of Nomenclature:
1. Trivial system (common names)
2. IUPAC system (IUPAC names) [IUPAC = INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PURE AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY]
A. IUPAC System of Naming for Straight Chain:

A-2. Unsaturate Hydrocarbons.
(a) up to 3 carbon atoms
Word-root + ene/yne
(b) for more than 3 carbon atoms
Number the carbon atoms so that the multiple bond gets the Lowest position number (Locant)
Word-root + Hyphen + Locant + ene/yne
B) IUPAC System of Naming for Branched-chain
B-1. Saturated Hydrocarbons
Case: I – Only One Alkyl Group is Present:
(i) Search for the longest chain (parent chain)
- must be continuous
- may not be straight
(ii) Number the carbon atoms so that the BRANCH gets LOWEST Position Number
(iii) Search the ALKYL GROUP.
(iv)
Locant + Hyphen + alkyl group + parent alkane
Case: II – Repeated Same Alkyl Groups are Present:
(i) Search for the longest chain (parent chain)
(ii) Number the carbon atom so that the locant of the first branch is MINIMUM (Locant is minimum at the first point of difference)
(iii) Search for the ALKYL GROUPS present.
(iv)
Locant + comma + Locant + comma . . . (n-time) + Hyphen + di/tri/tetra . . . + alkyl group + parent alkane
