Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Both common name and systematic name for each substituents highlighted in the given natural product has to be indicated.

Concept Introduction:

Naming substituents: Substituents are named in the same terminology used for naming parents, with a small difference by adding a suffix ‘yl’. Such groups are called alkyl groups.

Nomenclature of organic Compound:

The naming of the organic compound is given by IUPAC (International Union for pure and applied chemistry). In the IUPAC names consist of certain rules for giving chemical names they are,

• The longer number of Carbon chain of a compound is identified this is called parent of the compound.
• In the cyclic compounds the number of carbon involving in ring formation is called parent of the compound.
• The compound have more than one parent chains means the larger number of substitutions present in the chain is consider as a parent chain.
• The names of all substituents are arranged by alphabets to starts with lowest numbering.
• In the complex substituent having compounds the substituent name is assigned by a name each of them based on numbers going away from the parent.
