Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name for the given molecule is to be written.
Concept introduction:
Trivial names like toluene and anisole have been adopted by the IUPAC system. If these compounds are present in a structure, the root is used as toluene or anisole respectively. The root in such compounds specifies the position of the methyl group as C1 in toluene and methoxy group in anisole. 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 in the IUPAC name.
