Q & A
What is the general rule for naming symmetrical acid anhydrides?
-For symmetrical acid anhydrides, you take the root of the alkane with the same number of carbons, remove the 'e' at the end, and add 'oic anhydride'.
How is 'ethanoic anhydride' related to the alkane 'ethane'?
-Ethanoic anhydride is named by taking the alkane 'ethane', removing the 'e' at the end, and adding 'oic anhydride', indicating it has two carbons.
What is the common name for 'ethanoic anhydride'?
-The common name for ethanoic anhydride is 'acetic anhydride'.
How do you name an acid anhydride with three carbons on each side?
-An acid anhydride with three carbons on each side is named 'propanoic anhydride', following the same naming convention as symmetrical anhydrides.
What is the correct order for naming unsymmetrical acid anhydrides?
-For unsymmetrical acid anhydrides, name the component with fewer carbons first, followed by the one with more carbons, ensuring they are in alphabetical order.
How do you name a nitrile with a two-carbon chain?
-A nitrile with a two-carbon chain is named 'ethane nitrile'.
What is the naming convention for nitriles with a four-carbon chain?
-A nitrile with a four-carbon chain is named 'butane nitrile'.
How do you name a molecule with a nitrile group and a methyl group on the fourth carbon?
-The molecule is named by first identifying the longest carbon chain, then adding the nitrile group, and finally specifying the position and type of the substituent, such as '4-methyl heptane nitrile'.
What is the name of a molecule with a nitrile group and a bromine atom on the third carbon?
-The molecule is named by first identifying the longest carbon chain, then specifying the position and type of the substituents in alphabetical order, such as '3-bromo-4-methyl octane nitrile'.
How is a molecule with a benzene ring and a nitrile functional group named?
-A molecule with a benzene ring and a nitrile functional group is named 'benzonitrile' or 'benzene carbon nitrile'.
What is the importance of alphabetical order when naming unsymmetrical anhydrides and nitriles with substituents?
-Alphabetical order ensures that the naming of unsymmetrical anhydrides and nitriles with substituents is standardized and easily understandable, following the IUPAC nomenclature rules.

🧪 Naming Acid Anhydrides and Nitriles
This paragraph introduces the process of naming acid anhydrides and nitriles in chemistry. It begins with a basic example of naming a symmetrical anhydride, ethanoic anhydride, by following the pattern of removing the 'e' from the alkane name and adding 'oic' for acids. The common name for this molecule is acetic anhydride. The script then guides through the naming of a propanoic anhydride with three carbons. Further examples are given for unsymmetrical anhydrides, where the naming involves combining the names of the individual acids in alphabetical order. The paragraph concludes with an introduction to naming nitriles, starting with ethane nitrile and inviting viewers to try naming a nitrile with four carbons, which would be butane nitrile.
🔍 Advanced Nitriles and Functional Group Naming
The second paragraph delves into more complex examples of naming nitriles with additional functional groups. It starts with a simple example of a nitrile on a seven-carbon chain, named heptane nitrile, and then adds a methyl group on carbon four, resulting in 4-methylheptane nitrile. The paragraph continues with an example involving a bromine atom and a methyl group on an eight-carbon chain, which is named 3-bromo-4-methyloctane nitrile, following the priority rule where 'b' comes before 'm' in the IUPAC nomenclature. Finally, the paragraph addresses the naming of a molecule with a benzene ring and a nitrile group, which is called benzonitrile or phenyl carbon nitrile.

Highlights
The video discusses how to name acids, anhydrides, and nitriles.
For symmetrical anhydrides, the naming involves removing 'e' from the alkane name and adding 'oic anhydride'.
Ethane is used as the base for naming two-carbon anhydrides, resulting in 'ethanoic anhydride'.
The common name for ethanoic anhydride is 'acetic anhydride'.
For three-carbon anhydrides, 'propane' is modified to 'propanoic anhydride'.
Unsymmetrical anhydrides are named by combining the names of the individual acyl groups in alphabetical order.
