Chapter B, Problem B.15P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the given compound is to be written.

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. If the substituents attached to a benzene ring are complicated, it is easy to treat the benzene ring as a substituent instead of a root. These substituents are incorporated into the IUPAC name.
