    Number and name the side chains before the name of the root chain; If there are multiple side chains of the same type, use prefixes such as "di-" and "tri-" to indicate it as such, and number each one. Add side chain names in alphabetical (disregarding "di-" etc. prefixes) order in front of the name of the root chain

  4. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    In the fossil fuel industries, hydrocarbon refers to naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas and coal, or their hydrocarbon derivatives and purified forms. Combustion of hydrocarbons is the main source of the world's energy. Petroleum is the dominant raw-material source for organic commodity chemicals such as solvents and polymers.

  5. 1-Hexyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Hexyne

    1-Hexyne is a hydrocarbon consisting of a straight six-carbon chain having a terminal alkyne. Its molecular formula is HC 2 C 4 H 9. A colorless liquid, it is one of three isomers of hexyne. [1] It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis.

  6. Side chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_chain

    The side chain is a hydrocarbon branching element of a molecule that is attached to a larger hydrocarbon backbone. It is one factor in determining a molecule's properties and reactivity. [2] A side chain is also known as a pendant chain, but a pendant group (side group) has a different definition.

    The catalyst-hydrocarbon mixture flows upward through the riser for a few seconds, and then the mixture is separated via cyclones. The catalyst-free hydrocarbons are routed to a main fractionator for separation into fuel gas, LPG, gasoline, naphtha, light cycle oils used in diesel and jet fuel, and heavy fuel oil. [citation needed]

  8. Straight-chain terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-chain_terminal_alkene

    Straight-chain terminal alkenes, also called linear alpha olefins (LAO) or normal alpha olefins (NAO), are alkenes (olefins) having a chemical formula C n H 2n, distinguished from other alkenes with a similar molecular formula by being terminal alkenes, in which the double bond occurs at the alpha (α-, 1-or primary) position, and by having a linear (unbranched) hydrocarbon chain.

  9. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    These chains are branched, with one methyl substituent per C5 subunit. These chains are linked to the glycerol phosphate by ether linkages. [2] The two hydrocarbon chains attached to the glycerol are hydrophobic while the polar head, which mainly consists of the phosphate group attached to the third carbon of the glycerol backbone, is ...
