Chapter F, Problem F.3P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{4-chlorocarbonylbutanoic acid }$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The root name of any given IUPAC name of the compound shows how many carbon atoms are present in the longest chain that contains the highest priority functional group. The suffix gives the name with the position of the highest priority functional group. The prefix tells the position and names of the substituents (or other lower priority functional groups) which are attached to the parent chain.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{(R)-4-hydroxy-N-methyl-5-phenylpentanamide}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The root name of any given IUPAC name of the compound shows how many carbon atoms are present in the longest chain that contains the highest priority functional group. The suffix gives the name with the position of the highest priority functional group. The prefix tells the position and names of substituents (or other lower priority functional groups) which are attached to the parent chain. An R or S designation at the start specifies the absolute configuration of any chiral centers present. Similarly, an E or Z designation specifies the stereochemistry of a double bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{(Z)-2, 3-dimethylhex-2-enedinitrile}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The root name of any given IUPAC name of a compound shows how many carbon atoms are present in the longest chain that contains the highest priority functional group. The suffix tells the name with the position of highest priority functional group. The prefix tells the position and names of the substituents (or other lower priority functional groups) which are attached to the parent chain. An R or S designation at the start specifies the absolute configuration of any chiral centers present. Similarly, an E or Z designation specifies the stereochemistry of a double bond.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of $\text{2-carboxy-1, 4-butanedioic acid}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The root name of any given IUPAC name of the compound shows how many carbon atoms are present in the longest chain that contains the highest priority functional group. The suffix gives the name with the position of the highest priority functional group.
