IUPAC NamesIUPAC Names• Find the longest continuous carbon
chain.• Number the carbons, starting closest to
the first branch.• Name the groups attached to the chain,
using the carbon number as the locator.• Alphabetize substituents.• Use di-, tri-, etc., for multiples of same
substituent.

Chapter 3 7
Longest ChainLongest Chain• The number of carbons in the longest
chain determines the base name: ethane, hexane. (Listed in Table 3.2, page 82.)
• If there are two possible chains with the same number of carbons, use the chain with the most substituents.

Boiling Points of AlkanesBranched alkanes have less surface area contact,so weaker intermolecular forces.
![Page 17: Chapter 3 Structure and Stereochemistry of Alkanes](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061505/56815d32550346895dcb2c95/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Chapter 3 17
Melting Points of AlkanesBranched alkanes pack more efficiently intoa crystalline structure, so have higher m.p.

• May differ in energy. The lowest-energy conformer is most prevalent.
• Molecules constantly rotate through all the possible conformations.
