Chapter 13.2, Problem 1LTS

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The IUPAC names of the compounds have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The IUPAC names of organic compounds are given by IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry. The standard method of assigning a name to organic chemical compound is done by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

IUPAC naming of Ether compounds:

An Ether group consists of Oxygen atom attached between two Carbon chains. The shorter of two chains becomes the first part of the name with ‘ane’ changes to ‘oxy’ and the longer alkane becomes the suffix of the name of the ether.

When the Oxygen is not attached to the end of main chain of alkane, then the shorter alkyl group and the Ether group is treated as side chain and prefixed with its binding position on the main chain.
