alkyl groups - iupac system of naming organic


Alkyl groups - IUPAC System of Naming Organic Compounds

These groups involves one hydrogen atom less as compared to the alkane. These groups are named by substituting the suffix ane of the name of the subsequent alkane by yl.  That is alkane - ane + yl = alkyl.

         For example,

         CH4                    :           Methane    becomes

         CH3-                   :           Methyl

         CH3 CH3             :           Ethane becomes         

         CH3 CH2-           :           Ethyl

         CH3 CH2 CH3     :           Propane   becomes     

         CH3 CH2 CH2     :           Propyl etc.
