Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name for fructose is to be stated when the alcohol groups are called as hydroxys.
Concept introduction:
The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC. The naming of organic compound is done in such a way that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.
Rules for writing the structural formula from IUPAC are:
• First identify the word root for the given compound.
• The suffix used in the compound like –ane, ene, yne, ol, al and so on.
• Identify the position, location, and number of the substituent bonded to the carbon chain.
