i want to know the names, of iupac numenclature of all ALIPHATIC COMPOUNDS?

Question

organic chemistry

Answer 1

Hi , this is both a simple and hard question to answer. Because the actual list is truly endless. The reason it is endless is because they are made up of many other simplier compounds.

Aliphatic also means compounds that are not unsaturated ring compounds. IE they need to have all their bonds used up and saturated.

The base compounds for the alkanes are:
Methane----> CH4
Ethane------> CH3-CH3
Propane----> CH3-CH2-CH3
Butane------> CH3-(CH2)2-CH3
Pentane----> CH3-(CH2)3-CH3
Hexane----> CH3-(CH2)4-CH3
Heptane---> CH3-(CH2)5-CH3
Octane----> CH3-(CH2)6-CH3
Nonane---> CH3-(CH2)7-CH3
Decane---> CH3-(CH2)8-CH3
Note: (CH2)number = the number of CH2 units So, (CH2)8 means there are 8 CH2 units in the chain. etc.
Now from these base compounds you can make an endless number of different compounds. From this point we are talking Organic Chemical Nomenclature. IE the way chemists name organic compounds.

as an example:
CH3
CH3-C-CH3
CH3
Starting with the longest chain which has 3 carbons in it. The parent chain will be propane. It also has 2 Methyl groups (CH3) connected to the second carbon.

So we name this compound :

2-Dimethyl-Propane. where the number 2 means the second carbon and the Di means the 2 methyl groups.

So as you can see the number of aliphatic compounds is nearly endless.

If you need more help on chemical nomenclature ask and I will see what I can do to help.

Answer 2

It really is just a matter of looking them up. There are so many and you would never need to know the name of them all. also many common names of compounds are not the standard IUPAC names which can be confusing but many chemical supliers websites contain lists of synonyms for their compounds. Some of the simplier ones should be easy to figure out the names if you know the basic steps for naming compounds.

Answer 3

If you are looking for all aliphatic compounds I wish you luck. I think there are millions of them. Try a google search to start.

Answer 4

aliphatics are the straight chained ones so they are generally alkanes alkenes and alkynes

Answer 5

Whoa. Good luck with that! Do you know how many there are? A LOT! I say look it up. That's the only way your gonna get a good answer.

Answer 6

Better search on a chemistry site. U can also look up wikipedia or encarta.msn.com :)

Answer 7

so ur a chemistry student.me too.lets be friends.i tell u privatly

Answer 8

So go look it up!
