Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name is to be written for the given structure.

Concept introduction:

In ether, an oxygen atom joins two alkyl groups. The IUPAC name form of an ether is alkoxyalkane. The longest continuous carbon chain belonging to either of alkyl groups is treated as an alkane. Then the remaining portion is treated as an alkoxy substituent. The specific name of the alkoxy substituent is derived by eliminating the suffix yl from the name of the corresponding alkyl group and adding the suffix oxy.
