Chapter 14.9, Problem 14.17P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name of the following compound should be determined.

  

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane having general molecular formula ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n+2}$.

Rules of naming alkanes are:

1. First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms known as parent chain and determines the base name of alkane.
2. The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the substituents get the lowest number.
3. The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
4. The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane having general molecular formula ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n+2}$.

The compounds in which series of atoms are connected to form a ring is known as cyclic compound whereas the compounds which are open chain compounds and their atoms doesn't form a ring is known as acyclic compounds. The general molecular formula of cyclic alkane is ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n}$.

Rules of naming cycloalkanes are:

1. First determine the cycloalkane present in the structure which is considered as a parent chain (maximum number of carbon atoms). If the acyclic alkane chain has more number of carbon atoms, then the alkyl chain is considered as a parent chain.
2. The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the substituents get the lowest number.
3. The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group or cycloalkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
4. The alkyl groups or cycloalkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.
