Chapter B, Problem B.40P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{2-fluorotoluene}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names like toluene and anisole have been adopted by the IUPAC system. If these compounds are present in a structure, the root is used as toluene or anisole respectively. The root in such compounds specifies the position of the methyl group as C1 in toluene and the methoxy group in anisole.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{4-ethoxytoluene}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names like toluene and anisole have been adopted by the IUPAC system. If these compounds are present in a structure, the root is used as toluene or anisole respectively. The root in such compounds specifies the position of the methyl group as C1 in toluene and the methoxy group in anisole.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{2-ethoxyanisole}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names like toluene and anisole have been adopted by the IUPAC system. If these compounds are present in a structure, the root is used as toluene or anisole respectively. The root in such compounds specifies the position of the methyl group as C1 in toluene= and the methoxy group in anisole.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{1, 3-diphenylheptane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Benzene derivatives are named by considering the root as benzene. If the substituents attached to a benzene ring are complicated, it is easy to treat the benzene ring as a substituent instead of a root. These substituents are incorporated into the IUPAC name.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{4, 4-diphenyl-1-octene}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Benzene derivatives are named by considering the root as benzene. If the substituents attached to a benzene ring are complicated, it is easy to treat the benzene ring as a substituent instead of a root. These substituents are incorporated into the IUPAC name.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The structure for benzylbenzene is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Benzene derivatives are named by considering the root as benzene. If the substituents attached to a benzene ring are complicated, it is easy to treat the benzene ring as a substituent instead of a root. These substituents are incorporated into the IUPAC name.
