	Organic chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds that by definition contain carbon.
		Organic chemistry as a science is generally agreed to have started in 1828 with Friedrich Woehler's synthesis of the organic, biologically significant compound urea by accidentally evaporating an aqueous solution of ammonium cyanate NH OCN now called the Wöhler synthesis.
		Organic compounds tend to be much more soluble in organic solvents such as ether or alcohol, but the solubility in each solute is dependent on the functional groups present and of the general structure.

	Organic nomenclature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Formally, rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (known as IUPAC nomenclature) are authoritative for the names of organic compounds, but in practice, a number of simply-applied rules can allow one to use and understand the names of many organic compounds.
		In many cases, lack of rigor in applying all such nomenclature rules still yields a name that is intelligible — the aim, of course, being to avoid any ambiguity in terms of what substance is being discussed.
		There is also an older naming system for organic compounds known as common nomenclature, which is often used for simple, well-known compounds, and also for complex compounds whose IUPAC names are too complex for everyday use.

	Organic nomenclature -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Organic nomenclature is the system established for naming and grouping (Any compound of carbon and another element or a radical) organic compounds.
		For many compounds, naming can begin by determining the name of the parent (An organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogen) hydrocarbon and by identifying any (Click link for more info and facts about functional group) functional groups in the molecule that distinguish it from the parent hydrocarbon.
		In many cases, lack of (Excessive sternness) rigor in applying all such nomenclature rules still yields a name that is intelligible — the aim, of course, being to avoid any ambiguity in terms of what substance is being discussed.

	Encyclopedia: Organic nomenclature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An organic compound refers to any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with exception of carbides, carbonates and carbon oxides.
		An alkane in organic chemistry is a saturated hydrocarbon, that is, a hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds.
		For compounds found in organic chemistry, the Cahn Ingold Prelog priority rules are used to determine the orientation of a molecule for purposes of assigning stereochemistry at a stereocenter and for assigning the name of isomers of molecules possessing double bonds such as alkenes.

	R-1.0 INTRODUCTION
		Indeed, the comprehensive nomenclature system based largely on the application of this operation to parent structures is, for convenience, termed "substitutive nomenclature", although this system also involves many of the other types of operations described in R-1.2.
		The replacement operation can be used for naming organic compounds in which skeletal atoms of a parent structure are replaced by other skeletal atoms, or in which oxygen atom and/or hydroxy groups of characteristic groups are replaced by other atoms or groups.
		It is very important to recognize that, in general, the rules of organic nomenclature are written in terms of classical valence bonding and do not imply electronic configurations of any kind.

		Organic nomenclature is based on the priority of the different functional groups in the molecule.
		Although the IUPAC system of nomenclature has been in place since the 1930's, there are a number of compounds which are still referred to by their common names.
		The important point of organic nomenclature is that the name(s) are unique to that single compound, i.e.

	Organic Nomenclature
		Organic Compounds were named prior to the end of the ninteenth century by those that synthesized them.
		If new organic compounds that did not seem to fit into any established family, then a new committee was formed and their task was to develop a set of rules consistent with the rules of the other families.
		The system of nomenclature is designed to systematically have the name of the compound reflect very closely with the structure since structure is so important in establishing the physical and chemical behavior of organic molecules.

	Organic Nomenclature Rules
		Organic compounds are named systematically or by common names.
		Functional groups determine what kind of compound you have: an alkane, alkene or alkyne; an alcohol, ether, aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid; an ester, amine, or amide; other types.
		The first four names, from one to four carbons in a continuous chain, are derived from common nomenclature.

	Alkane Nomenclature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A more systematic method for the nomenclature of side-chains involves identifying the longest chain in the substituent, numbering the substituent from the point of attachment to the parent, and indicating side-chains on the substituent using the standard method described for simple alkanes.
		As a student of organic chemistry, you will encounter a variety of nomenclature conventions, and many non-standard names in common usage must simply be learned.
		Systematic nomenclature, however, is important to clearly understand as these methods are utilized in the cataloging of chemical information in print and computerized databases and effective information retrieval requires a good working knowledge of these methods.
