TEC Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Never been good at this IUPAC naming business... I have a molecule which is a pyrrole ring with a linear alkyl chain attached to the nitrogen, containing 7 carbons with the last 2 sharing a double bond Best guess I've got is 1-(6-heptenyl)pyrrole... sound right?

psynapse Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I think the parent hydrocarbon is actually the chain so something like. 1-pyrryl hept-6-ene? I think this is due to the fact that the ring only contains 4 carbons. I have very little confidence in my answer so best see what others have to say. After consulting with someone much smarter than I, the name is N-(6-heptenyl) pyrrole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEC Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 So I wasn't far off =) The 1- and N- notations for attachment at the pyrrole nitrogen seem quite interchangable in the literature but if N- is what the rules say then that's what I'll use =) Thanks for your help!
