Learn Chemistry Easy

This blog is all about discussions on different topics in chemistry and other subjects. Primarily it aims at answering different questions on organic chemistry, general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry along with biochemistry, biophysics as well. This is extremely helpful for different board exams and curriculums (cbse, icse, isc, wbbse,wbchse, cisce, ap, college board, igcse, ibdp, nios, honors, bsc, msc etc.), competitive exams (iitjee, neet, mcat, gamsat, sat etc.).

suffix yl in organic chemistry nomenclature

suffix yl in organic chemistry nomenclature
 Whenever an alkyl group is attached to some other functional group or we use some derivative of alkanes, in that case one hydrogen drops from the alkane chain and the carbon bearing that hydrogen attaches to the other group in replacement of that hydrogen. Hence, the obtained derivative attaches '-yl' in replacement of '-ane' while naming it.

For example,
when we indicate methane (base alkane compound), its structural formula is,

but when one chlorine group replaces one hydrogen in it, we name it as methyl chloride (halogen derivative of methane).

Hence, here are the structure of isobutane and isobutyl chloride,
