Chapter B, Problem B.19P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name for the given molecule is to be written.

Concept introduction:

In case of molecules containing a $\text{C=C }$ or $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$ bond, the longest continuous carbon chain or largest ring that contains the double or triple bond is considered as the root. It is possible that the longest carbon chain has more carbons than specified by the root. But the double or triple bond must be a part of the root. The root is named from the name of the analogous alkane or cycloalkane by replacing the suffix ane by ene, if a double bond is present. The suffix ane is replaced by yne if a triple bond is present.

If the root is a chain, numbering begins from that end of the chain which encounters the $\text{C=C }$ or $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$ bond at the earliest. If there is a tie, the chain is numbered such that the substituents get the lowest locator numbers.

The carbon atoms having a double or triple bond between them are always assigned C1 and C2, if the root is a ring. This must be done such that the locator numbers for the substituents are minimized. The lower of the two locator numbers for the $\text{C=C }$ or $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$ is written before the ene or yne suffix. Prefixes and locator numbers are used for the substituents attached.

In case of cycloalkene or cycloalkyne, the locator number is not included explicitly. Prefixes and locator numbers are used for the substituents attached.
