Chapter E, Problem E.10P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the given compound, the IUPAC name is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Follow the basic rules for naming compounds with two or more highest priority functional groups.

Determine the highest priority functional group present that calls for the suffix. Establish the longest chain or the ring that contains this functional group as the root. Number the root chain or ring so that the carbon atom to which this functional group is attached gets the least possible number. If there is more than one instance of the highest priority functional group, add one locator for each instance, along with a di, tri, etc. to the suffix. Do not remove the final ‘e’ of ane, ene or yne in the root name prior to adding the suffix. All other functional groups are treated as substituents and appear in the name as prefixes along with their locators.

(b)

Interpretation:

For the given compound, the IUPAC name is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Follow the basic rules for naming of compounds with two or more instances of the highest priority group.

Determine the longest chain or the ring that contains the functional group as the root. Number the root so that the highest priority functional group gets the least possible number. If there are two or more instances of this group, add one locator for each instance, along with a di, tri, etc. to the suffix. Do not remove the ‘e’ from the root name prior to adding the suffix. All other functional groups are treated as substituents and appear in the name as prefixes along with their locators.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

For the given compound, the IUPAC name is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Follow the basic rules for naming a compound with two or more instances of the huighest priority groups.

Determine the longest chain or the ring containing the highest priority group. Number the chain or ring so that the highest priority group gets the lowest number possible. If there are two or more instances of the highest priority groups, add one locator for each instance along with a di, tri, etc, to the suffix. Do not remove the final ‘e’ of the root name before adding the suffix. Treat all other functional groups present as substituents and list them in the alphabetical order in the prefix, along with their locators.
