Chapter E, Problem E.27P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The complete IUPAC name of the given molecule is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The IUPAC name of a compound consists of three parts, prefix, root and suffix. The root is the longest continuous carbon chain or the largest ring that bears the highest priority functional group. The suffix refers to the highest priority functional group. The functional group name suffix replaces the last ‘e’ in the root alkyl/aryl name. The root chain or ring carbons are numbered so that the highest priority group gets the lowest possible location numbers. The number is inserted between the root and the suffix unless redundant. Any other, low priority functional groups are listed alphabetically in the prefix, along with their location numbers. If the root is a ring compound, the ring is numbered in the direction that gives the lowest possible numbers to other substituents if present. A prefix di, tri, etc. is used in case two or more instances of the functional group are present.
