Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Structural formula of (10E,12Z)-10,12-hexadecadien-1-ol has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
- • Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the root name.
- • Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
- • Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
- • Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.
Alkene:
The systematic name of alkenes are written by replacing “ane” of
E configuration: The geometric isomers are given E configuration if high priority groups are placed on opposite sides of the bond.
Z configuration: The geometric isomers are given Z configuration if high priority groups are placed on same sides of the bond.
