Naming Amides - IUPAC Nomenclature 

Love these videos, they’re so helpful

will someone answer this , I really need to no why its not 3-methyl thought its correct 2-methyl cuz when i googled N,2-dimethybanzamide it gave the same structure !

I agree, we need someone to explain this mystery!

I don't know, but if you see naming the aromatic compounds video, you'll notice that in cases like this when ever a benzene ring is attached to a functional group, and you want to count the substitute on the ring, you start from the carbon on the ring that is attached to the functional group not from the carbon on the functional group I don't know if I'm making sense but this is what I've noticed... Hope someone with a better understanding can help us here

yea...i don't know...someone needs to explain this plsss

The reason why it is N,2-Methylbenzamide is because the methyl is placed on the second carbon of the benzene, and not of the longest possible chain. The group's numbering is always based on its position relative to the ring, and not to the rest of the molecule. I would recommend reviewing Unsaturated hydrocarbons as it is more thoroughly explained there.

because thats the only exception

The amide carbon is not counted in the ring That's why it's carboxamide

Benzene ring is taken as the parent chain.. not the amide one

He is right actually because it contains 3 carbonar atoms going to methyl, one C connected to N and O​@@poonamramawat7637

Because the people making the nomenclature suck and think it's funny when people forget it's written in a tough way instead of an obvious way

because amide is directly attached to the ring, its a special case. When there is ring or symmetric structure we use carboxamide. in aldehyde we use, carbaldehyde, etc. hope it helped you...

the IUPAC name should be cyclohexylmethanamide

Of course it would make sense to that but you would have to realize another carbon is apart of the functional group, and because of this cyclohexanamide isn't the same as cyclohexane carboxamide

you would be surprised if you searched them both you would realize they are completely different structures. But really good observation.

Lol

It was so easy example...

This one

Yes it is necessary to numbering the functional group

So make it correct

Carbamoyl is the prefix used for amides and make sure to not count it's carbon in principal carbon chain

it means that the alkyl group is attached to the N, it's not a ramification of the parent/principal carbon chain so it doesn't have a number associated with it

@@taniasawaya26 thank you kind stranger

Nope it's correct

That becomes another function group- Acid Chloride. Name by replacing the -ic of the acid with -yl and add Chloride. In effect, that would have been benzoyl chloride.

Sir I am in class 11th but it is still very helpful for me thanks sir
