Concept introduction:
Rules for writing IUPAC name from the structural formula are given below.
• First, identify the longest carbon chain.
• The next step is to identify the groups attached to the longest chain.
• Identify the position, location, and a number of the substituents bonded to the carbon chain.
• Use prefix di, tri, tetra if the same type of substituents are present.
• Name the substituents in alphabetical order.

Answer to Problem 4.46AP
The correct IUPAC name of
Explanation of Solution
When a compound is named the first thing is to identify the longest parent chain. If the parent chain is substituted, then it is numbered in such a manner so that the substituent gets the lowest locant number. In the given case, the structure is written as shown below.
Figure 1
The method of numbering the parent chain is wrong because it is substituted by a double bond. It has to be numbered in such a way so that double bond gets the lowest locant number. The lowest locant number is

Explanation of Solution
When a compound is named the first thing is to identify the longest parent chain. If the parent chain is substituted, then it is numbered in such a manner so that the substituent gets the lowest locant number. In the given case the structure is drawn as shown below.
Figure 3
The given compound contains a double bond and two methyl groups. The double bond gets priority over the methyl group. It means double bond is marked locant number

When a compound is named the first thing is to identify the longest parent chain. If the parent chain is substituted, then it is numbered in such a manner so that the substituent gets the lowest locant number. In the given case, structure and numbering is written as shown below.
Figure 5
The method of numbering the parent chain is wrong because it is substituted by a double bond and a methyl group. It has to be numbered in such a way so that double bond and methyl group gets the lowest locant number. The lowest locant number for the double bond is

Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?arrow_forward
