Synthesis of Alkyl Halides (Haloalkanes)

In this article we will learn about synthesis of Alkyl halides (Haloalkanes). 

Alkyl halides are the organic compounds which consists of halogen atom bonded to carbon atom. 

Key words: Alkyl halide, Haloalkane, Electrophilic addition, Radical substitution, Nucleophilic substitution.

Naming of Bicyclic Alkanes

Bicyclic alkanes are the organic compounds which consists of cyclic structures. As the word suggest they consist two cyclic structures which are fused to each other by one or two carbon atoms. In this article we will learn about IUPAC nomenclature of bicyclic alkanes. They are also known as  saturated cyclic hydrocarbon compounds. 

Key words: Bicyclic alkanes, Fused bicyclic, Bridged bicyclic, Spirocyclic, Nomenclature. 

As the name of the broad category indicates “bicyclic” means there are two rings which are joined together. In this category of alkanes three types of structures are found. They are Fused bicyclic, Bridged bicyclic, Spirocyclic

Cycloalkanes - Structure and Nomenclature

Cycloalkanes are the organic compounds which consists of rings that are made up of carbon-carbon single bonds. In this article we will discuss Structure and Nomenclature of Cycloalkanes. 

Cycloalkenes are cyclic saturated hydrocarbons and have general formula of C_nH_2n. They are named in similar way of alkanes with addition of prefix “cyclo”.

Key words: Saturated hydrocarbons, Cycloalkanes, IUPAC nomenclature. 

Alkanes - Structure and Nomenclature

Alkanes are organic compounds which consists of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. Alkanes are also known as saturated hydrocarbons. They have general formula C_nH_2n+2. There are three types of alkane compound found in nature, that is straight chain alkane, branched alkane and cyclic alkane. In this article we will learn about IUPAC nomenclature of straight chain and branched alkane compounds. 

Key words: Alkanes, Saturated hydrocarbons, Common names of alkane, IUPAC nomenclature.
