Functional class nomenclature ethers

Other minor systems are also in use. Some are traditional, and some are very restricted in their application. These include acid nomenclature (inorganic, for oxoacids and derivatives), replacement nomenclature (mainly organic, to denote replacement of skeletal atoms in a parent rather than replacement of hydrogen atoms — oxa-aza replacement is one variant), functional class nomenclature (this is again principally organic and involves the use of type names such as alcohol, acid and ether) and subtractive nomenclatures (such as organic-deoxy and inorganic-debor). These will all be referred to briefly as appropriate. 

Functional class nomenclature (Section 4.1) Type of lUPAC nomenclature in which compounds are named according to functional group families. The last word in the name identifies the functional group the first word designates the alkyl or aryl group that bears the functional group. Methyl bromide, ethyl alcohol, and diethyl ether are examples of functional class names. 

Functional class nomenclature (Section 4.3E) A system for naming compounds that uses two or more words to describe the compound. The final word corresponds to the functional group present the preceding words, usually listed in alphabetical order, describe the remainder of the molecule. Examples are methyl alcohol, ethyl methyl ether, and ethyl bromide. 

Ethers are named m substitutive lUPAC nomenclature as alkoxy derivatives of alkanes Functional class lUPAC names of ethers are derived by listing the two alkyl groups m the general structure ROR m alphabetical order as separate words and then adding the word ether at the end When both alkyl groups are the same the prefix di precedes the name of the alkyl group... 

Section 16 1 Ethers are compounds that contain a C—O—C linkage In substitutive lUPAC nomenclature they are named as al/coxy derivatives of alkanes In functional class lUPAC nomenclature we name each alkyl group as a separate word (m alphabetical order) followed by the word ether... 

Sulfides are sulfur analogs of ethers they contain the C—S—C func tional group They are named as al/cylthw derivatives of alkanes m sub stitutive lUPAC nomenclature The functional class lUPAC names of sul tides are derived m the same manner as those of ethers but the concluding word is sulfide...
