Chapter A, Problem A.7P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

IUPAC name for the molecule is to be written.

Concept introduction:

In the IUPAC nomenclature, the longest continuous carbon chain is considered as the parent chain. The name of this corresponding parent chain will be the root of the molecule’s name. For naming straight chain alkyl substituents, begin with the name of the straight-chain alkane that has the same number of carbon atoms as the alkyl substituent and replace the ‘ane’ suffix with ‘yl’. For naming the branched substituents,

identify the longest continuous chain of carbons in the alkyl group beginning at the substituent’s point of attachment. This establishes the main chain of the branched alkyl group. Number the carbon atoms of the branched alkyl group’s main chain with C1 being the atom at the point of attachment. The root name of the branched alkyl substituent is named in the same way as the straight chain alkyl substituent. Add prefixes and locants that account for the alkyl groups attached to the parent chain. Enclose the entire name of a branched alkyl group in parentheses.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

IUPAC name for the molecule is to be written.

Concept introduction:

In the IUPAC nomenclature, the longest continuous carbon chain is considered as the parent chain. The name of this corresponding parent chain will be the root of the molecule’s name. In case of two or more different substituents, the alphabetical order is considered. For naming straight chain alkyl substituents, begin with the name of the straight-chain alkane that has the same number of carbon atoms as the alkyl substituent and replace the ‘ane’ suffix with ‘yl’. For naming the branched substituents,

identify the longest continuous chain of carbons in the alkyl group, beginning atthe substituent’s point of attachment. This establishes the main chain of thebranched alkyl group. Number the carbon atoms of the branched alkyl group’s main chain with C1 being the atom at the point of attachment. The root name of the branched alkyl substituent is named in the same way as the straight chain alkyl substituent. Add prefixes and locants that account for the alkyl groups attached to the parent chain. Enclose the entire name of a branched alkyl group in parentheses.

can you draw each step on a piece of a paper please this is very confusing to me
> Can the molecule on the right-hand side of this organic reaction be made in good yield from no more than two reactants, in one step, by moderately heating the reactants? esc ? A O O •If your answer is yes, then draw the reactant or reactants in the drawing area below. You can draw the reactants in any arrangement you like. • If your answer is no, check the box under the drawing area instead. olo 18 Ar Explanation Check BB Click and drag to start drawing a structure. 2025 McGraw Hill LLC.
