Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the ter-butyl ethyl ether is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC name of an ether is written in the form of alkoxyalkane. Out of the two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom, the longest carbon chain is considered as the root. The other alkyl group is written as an alkoxy substituent. The name of the alkoxy substituent is obtained by replacing the suffix –yl from the name of the alkyl group by the suffix –oxy.
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the cyclohexyl methyl ether is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC name of an ether is written in the form of alkoxyalkane. Out of the two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom, the longest carbon chain is considered as the root. The other alkyl group is written as an alkoxy substituent. The name of the alkoxy substituent is obtained by replacing the suffix –yl from the name of the alkyl group by the suffix –oxy.
(c)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of sec-butyl propyl ether is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The IUPAC name of an ether is written in the form of alkoxyalkane. Out of the two alkyl groups attached to the oxygen atom, the longest carbon chain is considered as the root. The other alkyl group is written as an alkoxy substituent. The name of the alkoxy substituent is obtained by replacing the suffix –yl from the name of the alkyl group by the suffix –oxy.
