  2. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    Identification of the side-chains. Side chains are the carbon chains that are not in the parent chain, but are branched off from it. Identification of the remaining functional groups, if any, and naming them by their ionic prefixes (such as hydroxy for −OH, oxy for =O, oxyalkane for O−R, etc.).

  3. List of carboxylic acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_carboxylic_acids

    The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.

  4. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    The tetrahedral intermediate collapses with the loss of sulfur dioxide and chloride ion, giving protonated acyl chloride 4. Chloride ion can remove the proton on the carbonyl group, giving the acyl chloride 5 with a loss of HCl. Phosphorus(III) chloride (PCl 3) and phosphorus(V) chloride (PCl 5) will also convert carboxylic acids to acid ...

  5. Methyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group

    This is a free rotation only in the simplest cases like gaseous methyl chloride CH 3 Cl. In most molecules, the remainder R breaks the C ∞ symmetry of the R−C axis and creates a potential V(φ) that restricts the free motion of the three protons. For the model case of ethane CH 3 CH 3, this is discussed under the name ethane barrier. In ...

  6. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol is a 2-carbon alcohol. Its molecular formula is CH 3 CH 2 OH. The structure of the molecule of ethanol is CH 3CH 2OH (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group), which indicates that the carbon of a methyl group (CH 3 −) is attached to the carbon of a methylene group (−CH 2 –), which is

  7. Acyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyl_chloride

    In organic chemistry, an acyl chloride (or acid chloride) is an organic compound with the functional group −C(=O)Cl. Their formula is usually written R−COCl, where R is a side chain. They are reactive derivatives of carboxylic acids (R−C(=O)OH). A specific example of an acyl chloride is acetyl chloride, CH 3 COCl.

  8. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    The red and white balls represent the hydroxyl group (−OH). The three "R"s stand for carbon substituents or hydrogen atoms. [1] In chemistry, an alcohol (from Arabic al-kuḥl 'the kohl'), [2] is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl (−OH) functional group bound to a saturated carbon atom.

  9. Acetyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetyl_group

    In organic chemistry, an acetyl group is a functional group denoted by the chemical formula −COCH 3 and the structure −C(=O)−CH 3. It is sometimes represented by the symbol Ac [5] [6] (not to be confused with the element actinium). In IUPAC nomenclature, an acetyl group is called an ethanoyl group.
