Organic Nomenclature

What determines the higher priority of a substituent on a carbon chain in terms of numbering?

Highest oxidized carbon containing group

A carboxylic acid containing compound will have what suffix?

-oic acid

In a carboxylic acid, the carbon bonded to the oxygen should be

the first carbon in the chain

Z conformation is

cis via two highest atomic number of substituents

E conformation is

trans via two highest atomic number of substiituents

An ester containing molecule will have was suffix?

-oate

What group type is this compound?

benzyl group

What type of group is this compound?

phenyl group

How is numbering determined in a chair conformation?

Start with highest priority substituent, then move to nearest substituent (or next high priority if same distance to two substituents)

ortho, para, and meta are only terms used for what type of compound?

benzenes

If an alkene is present, how does number priority change

alkene gets lowest substituent number in chain

If a compounds name has a prefix N, what does this indicate

the main group has a substituent bonded directly to the nitrogen atom, rather than a carbon

If an NH₂ is bonded directly to a benzene ring, what name does the main compound component get?

aniline

what functional groups does a peptide bond contain?

amide

In a cyclic molecule, what is likely the largest chain?
