Download Heterocyclics - Organic Chemistry II - Lecture Slides and more Slides Organic Chemistry in PDF only on Docsity! Heterocycles Ring compounds with elements other than carbon in the ring. The most common elements to appear in heterocyclic compounds are oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. The aliphatic heterocycles are similar to the open chain analogues, ethers, amines and sulfides. The aromatic heterocycles are similar to other aromatic compounds. docsity.com Heterocyclic Nomenclature Replacement nomenclature (IUPAC recommended 1957) Oxygen oxa Sulfur thia Nitrogen aza Lowest number assigned to the hetero atom with the highest precedence: O > S > N S thiacyclobutane O NH 1-oxa-3-azacyclopentane docsity.com O S NH N N oxetane oxacyclobutane thietane thiacyclobutane azetidine azacyclobutane azete azacyclobutadiene 1-azetine 1-azacyclobutene docsity.com O O N H O O S N H * furan oxole oxacyclopentandiene * thiophene thiole thiacyclopentandiene * pyrrole 1,3-dioxolane 1,3-dioxacyclopentane * tetrahydrofuran * pyrrolidine azacyclopentane docsity.com N O N SO N N H N N N H N N H N pyrazole imidazole 1,2,4-triazole oxazole isooxazole thiazole docsity.com 6 7 8 5 N 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 5 1 N 2 3 4 N H * quinoline * isoquinoline * indole docsity.com Aliphatic heterocyclics, chemistry Ethers Amines sulfides O conc.
