[PDF] benzène nomenclature

How do you name benzene derivatives?

you can use ortho-, meta-, para- designations when a benzene derivative has a substituent group (s) on it. For example, 2-bromo-toluene would be ortho-bromo-toluene, where the 1 carbon would be the methyl group (causing it to be a toluene instead of a regular benzene) and 2 carbon would be the bromo. 3-bromo-toluene....meta-bromo-toluene

What is the formula of benzene?

The chemical formula of benzene is C6H6, so it has six carbon (C) atoms and six hydrogen (H) atoms. Its chemical structure can be described as a hexagon ring with alternating double bonds, as shown in this illustration. The chemical structure of benzene shows that for each carbon atom, there is one hydrogen atom.

Is benzene common name or IUPAC name?

Common Name: IUPAC name: acetaldehyde: Ethanal: Butyraldehyde: Butanal: Benzaldehyde: Benzene carbaldehyde: Aldehydes are carbonyl containing compounds with at least one —H attached to the carbonyl carbon. Common names include the suffix -aldehyde added onto the common name of the acid (after removal of the -ic suffix).
