Chapter 19, Problem 46E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of dichloromethane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of an organic compound is done such that the structure of the organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.

Rules for writing IUPAC name from the structural formula are:

• First, identify the longest carbon chain.

• The next step is to identify the groups attached to the longest chain.

• Identify the position, location, and a number of the substituents bonded to the carbon chain.

• Use prefix di, tri, tetra if the same type of substituents is present.

• Name the substituents in alphabetical order.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of iodoethane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name. There are many common names of compounds that are acceptable by IUPAC.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{2-fluoropropane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name. There are many common names of compounds that are acceptable by IUPAC.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{1, 2-dibromopropane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name. There are many common names of compounds that are acceptable by IUPAC.
