Functional Groups and Priorities
Nomenclature assembles names like trees: start with a parent structure (e.g., an alkane), then add prefixes and a functional group (FG) suffix.
FGs are the centers of reactivity within molecules and have predictable chemical behavior.
In naming, FGs are usually higher priority than a substituent. In more complicated names, FGs can be indicated by a prefix.
IUPAC naming of acyclic compounds
Double and triple bonds are incorporated into the parent chain, as much as possible, resulting in a modified hydrocarbon name. Beyond their presence in the parent chain, they are numbered in a prioritized fashion with any other FGs that are present.
1. In the formal IUPAC system, alkyl halides are named as substituted alkanes: F, fluoro; Cl, chloro; Br, bromo; I, iodo. In common naming, they are named as halides (e.g., methyl chloride).
2. Halogens are treated as substituents of equal priority to alkyl groups.
Nomenclature of AlcoholsIn an alcohol, the OH is a high-priority functional group.
IUPAC NAME = substituent prefixes+parent+functional group suffix(es). For alcohols, alkane suffix “e” changes to “ol”.
1. Determine the parent hydrocarbon containing the functional group. On cyclic compounds, OH receives number “1”; only show the “1” if multiple OH groups are present.2. If necessary, the suffix is preceded by a positional identifier.

Alcohols can be categorized as primary (1°), secondary (2°),and tertiary (3°) by the number of carbons directly attached to the hydroxyl-bearing carbon.

Recall:A hydrogen bond is a very strong dipole–dipole interaction: ONLY occurs when N-H, O-H, and F-H bonds (H-bond donors)interact with N, O, and F atoms (H-bond acceptors).
Solubility of hydrogen-bondable molecules in water depends upontheir proportion of H-bond donor/acceptor atoms.
Distortion of electron clouds is important to van der Waals attractive interactions (induced dipole-induced dipole).
Increasing the atomic radii within a group raises the boiling point.

Reaction MechanismsWe will dissect the reactions of alcohols with HX to make alkylhalides to learn about reaction mechanisms. There are two main reaction types SN1 and SN2. We will define these names in a few minutes.
Example: (CH3)3COH + HCl ------> (CH3)3CCl + HOH
This reaction is a substitution reaction, but the net reaction doesnot give the details of the reaction mechanism, or path.

Hammond Postulate: If the structure of a transition state is similar in energy to the species immediately preceding or following it, the transition state structure will most resemble that species.
