Question

Identity the rules set by the IUPAC system on naming and writing formulas of:
1. Tertiary Compounds
2. Binary/ Tertiary Acids

* Give examples for each

Answer 1

There aren't really any specific rules for those compounds, just follow the general IUPAC method:

First, find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, and use the name of this chain as the base name of the compound. Then, number the longest chain, beginning with the end nearest a substituent. Next, name the substituent groups, giving the location of each by the number of the main-chain carbon to which it is attached. If two or more substituents are present, list them in alphabetical order. If two or more of the same substituent are present, use prefixes (di, tri, etc) to avoid having to name the alkyl group twice.

Naming acids starts with the name of the alkane that corresponds to the longest chain of carbon atoms. Replace the final -e in the alkane name with -oic acid. Then follow the general IUPAC rules above, with the carboxyl group taking priority over any of the functional groups.

CH3COOH - ethanoic acid
CH3CH(CH3)CH2COOH - 3-methylbutanoic acid

Any organic chemistry book will have details on this process.

Answer 2

Not me and I used it everyday for over 40 years in a laboratory. It is a lot easier to look it up than to try and remember it and you don't make near as many mistakes.

Answer 3

Please clarify your question, do you mean tertiary C atoms or heteroatoms ?
