Question
Transcribed Image Text:### Determine the Name from the Structure:
The given image shows a chemical structure that needs to be named.
**Structure Details:**
- **Functional Groups:**
- Chlorine (Cl)
- Hydroxyl group (OH)
- **Cyclopropane Ring:**
- The structure consists of a three-membered cyclopropane ring.
- **Stereochemistry:**
- The chlorine (Cl) is represented with a dashed line, indicating that it is in the back (below the plane of the ring).
- The hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to the cyclopropane ring on the right side.
### Explanation:
In this structure, the cyclopropane ring has two substituents:
- **Chlorine (Cl)**
- **Hydroxyl group (OH)**
The chlorine is attached in a way that places it behind the plane of the cyclopropane ring (denoted by dashed lines), and the hydroxyl group is depicted directly attached to the ring.
Considering the position of the substituents, this structure can be named by following IUPAC nomenclature rules for naming substituted cyclopropane derivatives.
### Possible Name:
The correct name for this structure is *trans-1-chloro-2-hydroxycyclopropane*. The term "trans" indicates that the substituents (Cl and OH) are on opposite sides of the cyclopropane ring, with the chlorine atom being trans to the hydroxyl group.
This exercise helps in understanding how to determine the IUPAC name of a compound based on its chemical structure, taking into consideration the ring systems, substituents, and their stereochemistry.
