  2. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −C n H 2n−1. [2] Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae, the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group. The smallest alkyl group is methyl, with the formula −CH 3 ...

  3. Alkyl cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_cycloalkane

    Alkyl cycloalkanes are chemical compounds with an alkyl group with a single ring of carbons to which hydrogens are attached according to the formula C n H 2n. They are named analogously to their normal alkane counterpart of the same carbon count: methylcyclopropane, methylcyclobutane, methylcyclopentane, methylcyclohexane, etc. [1]

  4. Cycloalkyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkyne

    Cycloalkynes have a general formula C n H 2n−4. Because of the linear nature of the C−C≡C−C alkyne unit, cycloalkynes can be highly strained and can only exist when the number of carbon atoms in the ring is great enough to provide the flexibility necessary to accommodate this geometry .

  5. Cycloalkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkane

    Norbornane (also called bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane). Unsubstituted cycloalkanes that contain a single ring in their molecular structure are typically named by adding the prefix "cyclo" to the name of the corresponding linear alkane with the same number of carbon atoms in its chain as the cycloalkane has in its ring.

  6. Heterocyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_compound

    Structures and names of common heterocyclic compounds Pyridine, a heterocyclic compound. A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1]

  7. Cycloalkylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloalkylamine

    Cycloalkylamines are chemical compounds featuring a cycloalkyl group and an amine. [1] Some examples include propylhexedrine, cyclopentamine, cypenamine, and tranylcypromine. Some chemicals act as stimulants. [2]

  8. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Alkanes have the general chemical formula C n H 2n+2. The alkanes range in complexity from the simplest case of methane ( CH 4 ), where n = 1 (sometimes called the parent molecule), to arbitrarily large and complex molecules, like pentacontane ( C 50 H 102 ) or 6-ethyl-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl) octane, an isomer of tetradecane ( C 14 H 30 ).

  9. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    An ester of a carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′).
