Nomenclature for sugars
➔ Sugar refers to all carbohydrates of the general formula Cn(H2O)n
➔ Sucrose is a disaccharide, or double sugar, being composed of one molecule of
glucose linked to one molecule of fructose
➔ Because one molecule of water (H2O) is lost in the condensation reaction linking
glucose to fructose, sucrose is represented by the formula C12H22O11 following the
general formula Cn(H2O)n-1
Nomenclature for fats
➔ Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long hydrocarbon chain
➔ Most fatty acids have 12 to 20 carbons
➔ Most chains have an even number of carbons (synthesized
from two carbon units)
➔ IUPAC nomenclature for a carboxylic acid is -COOH
➔ The name ends in -oic acid
➔ C18:1(n-6): 18 C’s, the last is a COOH-group, between the
6th and 7th double bond (6th bond)
➔ C18:2(n-6) 18 C’s, the last is a COOH-group, between the
6th and 7th a double bond (6th bond)
➔ Lipid free fatty acid nomenclature
1. Draw the fatty acid and number the bends/ corners/ number of carbon atoms
2. Recognize configuration: cis or trans? → mostly cis
3. Δ tells you where the double bond is (always go for the lower number) and
write it as a superscript of Δ
4. Then write the total number of carbon atoms present
5. 18:1 would be the skeleton name (18 carbon atoms, one double bond)
6. Add -oic acid at the end
