Answer to Problem B.23P
The IUPAC name for the given compound is:
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, the largest carbon ring containing the double bond has six carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cyclohexene. The ring is numbered such that the double bonded carbon atoms get C1 and C2 as the locator numbers.
The numbering system is shown below:
One methyl group is attached at the C3 carbon atom of the ring.
Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is:
The IUPAC name of the compound is written according to the rules for nomenclature.

Answer to Problem B.23P
The IUPAC name for the given compound is:
Explanation of Solution
The given compound is:
In this molecule, the largest carbon ring containing the double bond has four carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cyclobutene. The ring is numbered such that the double bonded carbon atoms get C1 and C2 as the locator numbers.
The numbering system is shown below:
One chlorine atom is attached as a substituent on the C3 carbon atom of the ring.
Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is:
The IUPAC name of the compound is written according to the rules for nomenclature.

Answer to Problem B.23P
The IUPAC name for the given compound is:
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, the largest carbon ring containing the double bond has seven carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cycloheptene. The ring is numbered such that the double bonded carbon atoms get C1 and C2 as the locator numbers.
The numbering system is shown below:
Two bromine atoms are attached to the C4 carbon atom of the ring. Thus, a prefix ‘di’ must be used to indicate the number of bromide substituents.
Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is:
The IUPAC name of the compound is written according to the rules for nomenclature.

The IUPAC name for the given compound is
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, the largest carbon ring containing the double bond has six carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cyclohexene. The ring is numbered such that the double bonded carbon atoms get C1 and C2 as the locator numbers.
The numbering system is shown below:
At C3 and C4 carbon atoms of the ring, two methoxy substituents are attached.
Thus, a prefix ‘di’ must be used for methoxy substituents to indicate their number.
Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is
The IUPAC name of the compound is written according to the rules for nomenclature.

Answer to Problem B.23P
The IUPAC name for the given compound is
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, the largest carbon ring containing the double bond has six carbon atoms. Hence, the root is cyclohexene. The ring is numbered such that the double bonded carbon atoms get C1 and C2 as the locator numbers.
The numbering system is shown below:
At C1 carbon atom of the ring, a substituent propyl is attached. At C3 carbon atom of the ring, two methyl groups are attached. Thus, a prefix ‘di’ must be used for methyl substituents to indicate the number. Out of propyl and methyl substituents, methyl comes first alphabetically, hence it will be written first in the name.
Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is
The IUPAC name of the compound is written according to the rules for nomenclature.
