Chapter 19, Problem 54E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the ether with the name “diisopropyl ether” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is given by some set of rules in order to give each compound its unique name. Common names are also given to the organic compounds. Common names of organic compounds ethers is given by writing the parent chain name as prefix and function group as the suffix. The prefix for hydrocarbon parent chain is “yl” in the end of name for parent chain. The suffix for the functional group is “ether”.

Answer to Problem 54E

The structure of the ether with the name “diisopropyl ether” is

${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2-\text{CH}-\text{O}-\text{CH}-{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2$.

Explanation of Solution

The given name “diisopropyl ether” is the common name of ether. The diisopropyl in the name represents the presence of two isopropyl groups on both sides of oxygen in the ether structure.

The structure of “diisopropyl ether” is shown below.

${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2-\text{CH}-\text{O}-\text{CH}-{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2$

Conclusion

The structure of the “diisopropyl ether” is ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2-\text{CH}-\text{O}-\text{CH}-{\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2$.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is given by some set of rules in order to give each compound its unique name. Common names are also given to the organic compounds. Common names of organic compounds ethers is given by writing the parent chain name as prefix and function group as the suffix. The prefix for hydrocarbon parent chain is “yl” in the end of name for parent chain. The suffix for the functional group is “ether”.

Answer to Problem 54E

The structure of the ether with the name “diphenyl ether” is shown below.

Explanation of Solution

The given name “diphenyl ether” is the common name of ether. The diphenyl in the name represents the presence of two phenyl groups on both sides of oxygen in the ether structure.

The structure of “diphenyl ether” is shown below.

Figure 1

Conclusion

The structure of the “diphenyl ether” is shown in Figure 1.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of the ether with the name “ethyl propyl ether” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is given by some set of rules in order to give each compound its unique name. Common names are also given to the organic compounds. Common names of organic compounds ethers is given by writing the parent chain name as prefix and function group as the suffix. The prefix for hydrocarbon parent chain is “yl” in the end of name for parent chain. The suffix for the functional group is “ether”.

Answer to Problem 54E

The structure of the ether with the name “ethyl propyl ether” is

${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-{\text{CH}}_2-\text{O}-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$.

Explanation of Solution

The given name “ethyl propyl ether” is the common name of ether. The ethyl and propyl in the name represents the presence one ethyl and one propyl group around oxygen in the ether structure.

The structure of “ethyl propyl ether” is shown below.

${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-{\text{CH}}_2-\text{O}-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$

Conclusion

The structure of the “ethyl propyl ether” is ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-{\text{CH}}_2-\text{O}-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_2-{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of the ether with the name “methyl phenyl ether” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is given by some set of rules in order to give each compound its unique name. Common names are also given to the organic compounds. Common names of organic compounds ethers is given by writing the parent chain name as prefix and function group as the suffix.
