In chemical nomenclature, nor-is a prefix to name a structural analog that can be derived from a parent compound by the removal of one carbon atom along with the accompanying hydrogen atoms. The nor-compound can be derived by removal of a CH 3, CH 2, or CH group, or of a C "nor-" prefix also includes the elimination of a methylene bridge in a cyclic parent . Terpenes Terpenes are widespread in nature, mainly in plants as constituents of essential oils. Many terpenes are hydrocarbons, but oxygen-containing compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes or ketones (terpenoids) are also building block is the hydrocarbon isoprene, CH 2 =C(CH 3)-CH=CH 2 (isoprene rule, Wallach ).Terpene hydrocarbons therefore have .

ADVERTISEMENTS: Let us make an in-depth study of the terpenes. After reading this article you will learn about 1. Classification of Terpenes and 2. Biosynthesis of Terpenes. Introduction to Terpenes: These substances constitute the largest group of secondary plant products and show some of the properties of lipids. They are insoluble in water and are [ ]. NOMENCLATURE WORKSHEET 7 Naming Hydrocarbons Petroleum or crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen. The three simplest families of hydrocarbons are known as the alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes have the formula C xH 2x+2 and end with the suffix “ane.” Alkenes have the formula C xHFile Size: 55KB.

The IUPAC nomenclature system is a set of logical rules devised and used by organic chemists to circumvent problems caused by arbitrary nomenclature. Knowing these rules and given a structural formula, one should be able to write a unique name for every distinct compound. Likewise, given a IUPAC name, one should be able to write a structural. The alkane that contains three carbon atoms is known as propane, which has the formula C 3 H 8 and the following skeleton structure.. The four-carbon alkane is butane, with the formula C 4 H The names, formulas, and physical properties for a variety of alkanes with the generic formula C n H 2n+2 are given in the table below. The boiling points of the alkanes gradually increase . Terpenes. Terpenes commonly occur in the oils that give plants their fragrance. Originally the term terpene was resricted to hydrocarbons, it is now used to include substituted derivatives too.; The fundamental building block of terpenes is the isoprene unit, C 5 H 8; The larger structures are "assembled" from several isoprene units, usually by "head-to-tail" linked isoprene units.
