The structure of capsaicin, the compound discussed in the beginning of this chapter, incorporates several functional groups, labeled in the figure below and explained throughout this section.

It is not necessary to include the location number in the name because it is assumed that the functional group will be on the end of the parent chain.

Open chain nitriles are named with the word -nitrile after the name of the parent alkane name (include the carbon atom of the nitrile as part of the parent - as in the example CH 3 CN has two carbons including the nitrile carbon, therefore it is ethanenitrile).

The complex is vital for the continuation of the reaction because it shifts the negative charge from the nitrogen to the aluminum allowing for the imine carbon to remain electrophilic.

Nitriles undergo hydrolysis to produce carboxylic acids and can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. Their versatile reactivity makes them significant in organic synthesis.

It emphasizes understanding the priority of functional groups, especially for molecules with multiple functionalities, and highlights key naming conventions. Common and IUPAC names for carboxylic acids and the process for naming salts, dicarboxylic acids, and nitriles are explained.

Nitriles can also be named as derivatives of carboxylic acids by replacing the -ic acid or -oic acid ending with -onitrile, or by replacing the -carboxylic acid ending with -carbonitrile.
