Chapter A, Problem A.15P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The trivial name of the given molecules is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Select the longest continuous chain or the largest carbon ring as the parent chain. The name of the corresponding alkane will be the root of the molecule's name. The numbering can be done in such a way that each substituent encountered gets the lowest possible locator numbers.

For cyclic compounds, the numbering can be done either clockwise or anticlockwise.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The trivial name of the given molecule is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms as the parent chain. The name of the corresponding alkane will be the root of the molecule’s name. The numbering can be done in such a way that each substituent is get encountered and get the least locator number. For cyclic compounds, the numbering can be done either clockwise or anticlockwise.
