a) 3-methyl-1,2-benzenediamine
Interpretation:
The structure of the compound with IUPAC name 3-methyl-1,2-benzenediamine is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Benzene with more than two substituent groups are named choosing a point of attachment ac carbon 1 and numbering the substituent groups on the ring so that the second substituent has as low number as possible. If ambiguity still exists, numbering is done such that the third and fourth substituent groups have a number as low as possible, until a point of difference is obtained. While writing the name the substituent groups are arranged alphabetically.

c) 3-methyl-2-phenylhexane
Interpretation:
The structure of the compound with IUPAC name 3-methyl-2-phenylhexane is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Alkyl-substituted benzenes, called arenes, are named in different ways depending on the size of the alkyl group. If the alkyl group is smaller than the ring (six or fewer carbons), the arene is named as an alkyl-substituted benzene. If the alkyl substituent is larger than the ring (seven or more carbons), the arene is named as a phenyl-substitited alkane.

Disubstituted benzenes are named using the prefixes ortho (o), meta(m) and para (p). An ortho-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,2- relationship on the ring. A meta-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,3-relationship on the ring. A para-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,4-relationship on the ring. While writing the name the substituent groups are arranged alphabetically.
To draw:
The structure of the compound with IUPAC name p-aminobenzoic acid.
Answer to Problem 19AP
The structure of the compound with IUPAC name p-aminobenzoic acid is
Explanation of Solution
The IUPAC name of the compound, p-aminobenzoic acid, indicates that the compound has a benzene ring with a carboxyl and amino groups in 1,2-relationship.
