(a)
Interpretation: The IUPAC name of the following compound should be determined:
Concept Introduction:
In order to give the IUPAC name to the alcohol following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest)
2. The ending of the parent chain from alkane (-e) is changed to -ol and the number is used to locate the -OH group of alcohol.
3. Name should be written in alphabetical order and numbering should be done in such a way that hydroxy group gets lowest number.
4. Configuration should be specified is there exist any cis-trans isomerism.
For number of carbons atoms in chain, the prefix is given as:
Carbon-1 meth
Carbon-2 eth
Carbon-3 prop
Carbon-4 but
Carbon-5 pent
Carbon-6 hex
Carbon-7 hept
Carbon-8 oct
Carbon-9 non
Carbon-10 dec

(c)
Interpretation: The common name of the following compound should be determined:
Concept Introduction: When the oxygen atom is connected to two alkyl or aryl groups with general formula R-O-R’ such class of compounds is known as ether.
The common name of ether with low molecular weight ethers are derived by listing the alkyl groups bonded to oxygen in alphabetical order and then ending with word ether.

- Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?arrow_forwardA mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forward
- A mixture of three compounds Phen-A, Acet-B and Rin-C was analyzed using TLC with 1:9 ethanol: hexane as the mobile phase. The TLC plate showed three spots of R, 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3.
