(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the ether is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Ethers are named as alkoxy substituted
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given ether is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Ethers are named as alkoxy substituted alkanes. An alkoxy group consists of an alkyl group attached to an oxygen atom. Out of the two alkyl groups in the ether, the longer continuous alkyl chain is treated as the root, with the shorter chain as part of the alkoxy group. The specific name for the substituent group is derived by replacing the suffix -yl from the name of the corresponding alkyl group by the suffix -oxy. If another substituent is present, the carbon bonded to the oxygen is numbered 1, and the rest of the chain carbons are numbered so as to give the lowest number to the substituent.
