Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The structure corresponding to the given IUPAC name is to be stated.

Concept introduction: One should follow the given steps to derive the structure of an aldehyde from its IUPAC name. The first step is finding of longest parent chain that contains an aldehyde group. The second step is changing of -e ending of the parent alkane to the suffix -al. However, when an aldehyde $\left(\text{CHO}\right)$ group is bonded to a ring then after naming of ring, the suffix -carbaldehyde is used. The third step is numbering of chain or ring by putting the $\text{CHO}$ group at $\text{C1}$, and using the general rules of nomenclature.
