Concept introduction:
Benzene derivatives have one or more substituents attached to the benzene ring. In such compounds, the root name is benzene. The ring is numbered so that the substituents attached to it, get the lowest locator numbers. Prefixes and locator numbers are used for writing the number and type of substituents. In the case of disubstituted benzene, the prefixes ortho, meta, and para are used to indicate the relative positions of the two substituents. In the case of ortho disubstituted benzene, the position of the two substituents is 1, 2. In the case of meta disubstituted benzene, the position of the two substituents is 1, 3. In the case of para disubstituted benzene, the position of the two substituents is 1, 4.

- What two tests can be used to test for the presence of a double or triple bond (i.e., will result in a positive test while an alkane will have a negative result)? List what physical observations you expect to see for each type of compound.arrow_forwardDraw the structure for the following compound. (R)-3-methylhexanearrow_forwardIf methyl substituents are present in the 3rd and 4th Carbon, which among what will be the name of the molecule ?arrow_forward
- Draw “2-propyl-3-ethylbutane.” Is this the correct IUPAC name for this structure? If not, what should the molecule be named, according to IUPAC rules?arrow_forwardClearly indicate the molecule as 2,4-phenylbut-3-en-1-al as the aromatic structure according to the IUPAC nomenclature Write down the last closed formula as well.arrow_forwardThe incorrect information is given in the choice of a) Aromatic compounds have a special type of unsaturation and are the derivatives of fused benzene rings. b) Compounds with no multiple bonds (covalent) between carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds. c) Alkanes having 1-4 C atoms are all gaseous compounds. d) Alkyl groups are obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from an alkane. e) Ethers have the general formula of R-O-R or R-O-R' where R groups may be the same or different or aromatic.arrow_forward
- Hh.158.arrow_forwarda) Draw the four isomers of C5H12O that can be oxidized to an aldehyde. (b) Draw the three isomers of C5H12O that can be oxidized to a ketone. (c) Draw the isomers of C5H12O that cannot be easily oxidized to an aldehyde or ketone. (d) Name any isomer that is an alcohol.arrow_forwardIn each of the organic compound classes given below, write a molecule with a total of 16 carbons (by express formula), with at least one aromatic group and one alkyl group in its structure. Name each structure you write according to the IUPAC system.g) Write down and name a dithiol molecule.h) Write down and name a lactone molecule.i) Write and name a 3,4-unsaturated aldehyde molecule.arrow_forward
