Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction to IUPAC Rules

For naming of an organic molecule,
- Take the highest carbon containing carbon chain as parent or base carbon chain then number the carbon chain based on functional group..
- The number should be less for functional groups compared to double bonded or triple bonded or substituent carbon.
- If functional group not present then the total number should be less for substituents.
- The name starts with substituent names followed by alphabetical order including its position on base carbon chain.
- Use di-, tri-, tetra- so on as prefixes before the names of two or more same substituents.
- The name ends with functional group name including its position on base carbon chain.
