Chapter A, Problem A.18P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{1, 2, 3-tribromohexane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The halogen atom attached to the parent chain is indicated by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{2, 2, 3, 3, 4-pentachlorohexane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The halogen atom attached to the parent chain is indicated by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{1, 2-dichloro-4-nitrohexane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The halogen atom attached to the parent chain is indicated by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{1, 2-dichloro-3-methoxycyclopentane}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The halogen atom attached to the parent chain is indicated by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.
