Nomenclature is the system of naming chemical compounds in a standardized way. Organic compounds can be named using two main systems: the common (or trivial) system and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system. Common Nomenclature System The common system of nomenclature often uses historical or traditional names that are not systematically […]
Classification of Organic Compounds: Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon atoms in combination with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. These compounds are classified based on various criteria such as the structure of the carbon chain, the presence of specific functional groups, and the nature of the carbon-carbon bonds. Here’s a detailed […]
1. From Di-halogen Compounds: Suitable 1,3 or 1,4 di-halogen alkanes react with sodium or zinc to form cycloalkanes. 2. From Aromatic Compounds: Benzene can be converted into cyclohexane through catalytic hydrogenation at high temperature and pressure. 3. From Calcium or Barium salts of Dicarboxylic acids: Heating the calcium or barium salt of adipic, pimelic, or […]
