Chapter 18.SE, Problem 38AP

Interpretation Introduction

a) Ethyl 1-ethylpropyl ether

Interpretation:

The structure of ethyl 1-ethylpropyl ether is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Simple ethers are with no other functional groups are named by identifying the two organic substituents and adding the word ether. If other functional groups are present, the ether part is considered as an alkoxy substituent.

To draw:

The structure of ethyl 1-ethylpropyl ether.

Interpretation Introduction

b) Di (p-chlorophenyl) ether

Interpretation:

The structure of di (p-chlorophenyl) ether is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Simple ethers are with no other functional groups are named by identifying the two organic substituents and adding the word ether. If other functional groups are present, the ether part is considered as an alkoxy substituent.

To give:

The structure of di(p-chlorophenyl) ether.

Interpretation Introduction

c) 3, 4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid

Interpretation:

The structure of 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoic acid ether is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Simple ethers are with no other functional groups are named by identifying the two organic substituents and adding the word ether. If other functional groups are present, the ether part is considered as an alkoxy substituent.

To give:

The structure of 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoic acid.

Interpretation Introduction

d) Cyclopentyloxycyclohexane

Interpretation:

The structure of cyclopentyloxycyclohexane is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Simple ethers are with no other functional groups are named by identifying the two organic substituents and adding the word ether. If other functional groups are present, the ether part is considered as an alkoxy substituent.

To give:

The structure of cyclopentyloxycyclohexane.

Interpretation Introduction

e) 4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol)

Interpretation:

The structure of 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol) is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Simple ethers are with no other functional groups are named by identifying the two organic substituents and adding the word ether. If other functional groups are present, the ether part is considered as an alkoxy substituent.

To give:

The structure of 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol).
