Naming cycloalkanes?

Hey,

I wanted to ask how cycloalkanes/kenes/kines (does that even exist?) are named. I know that you count the Cs, which is how the parent name is formed. So, "pent."

But what do I do now if I have an alcohol residue or a double bond? How is this prioritized?

Are cycloalkanes isomers of alkenes?

What is the best way to identify a cycloalkane?

You have birds like cyclopropene, cyclobutene, cyclohexene, cyclooctene, cyclooctin. Cycloalkines are stable only with ring sizes ≧8. If only a Multiple binding is then not necessary to indicate the position because all CC bonds are equivalent. In the case of several double bonds, there are edges, e.g. cyclohexa-1,3-diene and cyclohexa-1,4-diene (there is no cyclohexa-1,2-diene, since cumulative double bonds in rings are also stable only at ≧8 ring atoms, and in any case very exotic). The most known of the polyunsaturated rings is that Cycloocta-1,3,5,7-tetraene.

If a functional group (alcohol, amine, ketone, etc.) is added, then the functional group receives number 1, and the remainder corresponds to the usual rules, e.g. cyclohex-2-en-1-one.

Ja, Seitenketten kommen vorne dran, z.B. 1,2-Dimethylcycloprop-1-en.

Über die Prioritäten habe ich doch geschrieben, vgl. Cyclohex-2-en-1-on.

Clear, for example cyclohexa-3-ene-1,2-diol. And I have read your “Vocal Question” but not understood, maybe you better follow the wording.
