Chapter 17.4, Problem 17.29QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The IUPAC names of the given compound should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In order to give the IUPAC name to the alcohol following steps are followed:

1. The parent (longest) alkane chain is identified.

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
