Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the molecule whose carbon skeleton is shown below is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC naming of compounds is a systematic way to name the organic compounds.
Steps to determine the IUPAC name of a compound are:
Step 1: Identify the longest continuous carbon chain and number the carbon atoms such that the substituents attached to the parent chain get the lowest possible number.
Step 2: Identify the carbon number to which the substituent is attached.
Step 3: Identify the substituent or branched group attached to the parent chain.
Step 4: While naming the compounds two digits are separated by a comma (,) and the digit is separated from a letter by a hyphen (-). If more than one substituent is present, then named it by alphabetical order. If the same substituent is present more than once, then the number of substituents is indicated by prefixes di, tri, tetra, etc.
