Concept explainers
Explain why each name is incorrect and then write a correct name. Strategy: First draw the structural formula suggested by the incorrect name. Then identify the error, for example, failure to locate the longest chain that contains the
(a) 1-Methylpropene (b) 3-Pentene
(c) 2-Methylcyclohexene (d) 3,3-Dimethylpentene
(e) 4-Hexyne
(f) 2-lsopropyl-2-butene

(a)
Interpretation:
To analyse the error and write the correct IUPAC names.
Concept Introduction:
The rules to write the IUPAC names are as follows-
- The longest carbon chain is identified, and the root name is given accordingly.
- All the substituents attached to the root chain are determined.
- The position of the substituents is so assigned that the sum of their positions comes to be the least of all possible positions.
- The prefix di, tri, tetra is used if the same substituent is present two, three and four times respectively.
- All the substituents in the name are written in alphabetical order.
- For a cyclic hydrocarbon the prefix cyclo- is used.
