Nomenclature classes

Ans. The three compounds belong to different nomenclature classes. Aluminum in its compounds always forms 3+ ions, and thus there is no need to state 3+ in the name. Cobalt forms 2+ and 33-ions, and we need to designate which of these exists in this compound. PCI, is a binary nonmctal-nonmetal compound, using a prefix to denote the number of chlorine atoms.

The lUPAC rules permit alkyl halides to be named m two different ways called func twnal class nomenclature and substitutive nomenclature In functional class nomencla ture the alkyl group and the halide (fluoride chloride bromide or iodide) are desig nated as separate words The alkyl group is named on the basis of its longest continuous chain beginning at the carbon to which the halogen is attached... 

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... 

Although substitutive names of the type just described are preferred the lUPAC rules also permit ketones to be named by functional class nomenclature The groups attached to the carbonyl group are named as separate words followed by the word ketone The groups are listed alphabetically... 

Ketones may also be named using functional class lUPAC nomenclature by citing the two groups attached to the carbonyl m alphabetical order followed by the word ketone Thus 3 methyl 2 butanone (substitutive) becomes isopropyl methyl ketone (functional class)... 

It IS hard to find a class of compounds in which the common names of its members have influenced organic nomenclature more than carboxylic acids Not only are the common names of carboxylic acids themselves abundant and widely used but the names of many other compounds are derived from them Benzene took its name from benzoic acid and propane from propionic acid not the other way around The name butane comes from butyric acid present m rancid butter The common names of most aldehydes are derived from the common names of carboxylic acids—valeraldehyde from valeric acid for exam pie Many carboxylic acids are better known by common names than by their systematic ones and the framers of the lUPAC rules have taken a liberal view toward accepting these common names as permissible alternatives to the systematic ones Table 19 1 lists both common and systematic names for a number of important carboxylic acids...

The nomenclature of biochemical compounds is in large measure a part of organic nomenclature. However, it has its own special problems, arising partiy from the fact that many biochemical compounds must be given names before their chemical stmctures have been fully determined, and partiy from the interest in grouping them according to biological function as much as to chemical class. 

Table 1 Hsts a number of chelating agents, grouped according to recognized stmctural classes. Because systematic nomenclature of chelating agents is frequently cumbersome, chelants are commonly referred to by common names and abbreviations. For the macrocyclic complexing agents, special systems of abbreviated nomenclature have been devised and are widely used. Some of the donor atoms involved ia chelation and the many forms ia which they can occur have been reviewed (5).

A system based partly on historical names, partly on the substrate, and partly on the type of reaction catalyzed is far from satisfactory. In 1956, the International Union of Biochemistry set up a Commission on Enzymes to consider the classification and nomenclature of enzymes. The Commission presented a report in 1961 whose recommendations for naming and classifying enzymes were subsequently adopted (12). Enzymes are classified on the basis of the reactions they catalyze. Despite its apparent complexities, the system is precise and very descriptive, accommodating existing enzymes and serving as a systematic basis for the naming of new enzymes. AH enzymes are placed in one of the six principal classes. 

The nomenclature of penicillins requires special comment. Compound (2) can be named as follows (a) penicillin G (b) benzylpenicillin (note that the term penicillin may refer to the compound class (1), to the structural fragment (3) or, especially in the medical literature, to compound (2) itself) (c) 6/3-phenylacetamidopenicillanic acid (d) 2,2-dimethyl-6/3-phenylacetamidopenam-3a -carboxylic acid (e) (2S,5i ,6i )-3,3-di-methyl-7-oxo-6-(2-phenylacetamido)-4-thia-l-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid and (f) [2S-(2a,5a,6/3)]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-[(phenylacetyl)amino]-4-thia-l-azabicyclo-[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid. The numbered system shown in (2) is the one most commonly used in the penicillin literature and will be used in this chapter note that different number is used when (2) is named according to (e) and (f) above. 

It is possible to regard radicofunctional nomenclature, in which the functional class narrie of a compound (c.g. alcohol, ketone, etc.) is cited after the names of the attached radicals, as involving an additive procedure (example 146). This type of nomenclature is gradually falling out of use in favor of the substitutive equivalent [for 146 the substitutive name would be l-(3-pyridyl)propan-l-one]. 

An even more complicated nomenclature problem arises with the closely related all-oxygen cryptands. These compounds do not utilize nitrogen as the three-chain junction. Most examples of this class of compounds have utilized pentaerythritol or glycerol as the junction. This naturally imparts a somewhat lower flexibility to the molecule than would be present in the nitrogen-containing cases. Structures of two such molecules are illustrated below.
