Give common names for the following compounds.
PhOCH2CH
Expert Solution
Step 1
Here left terminal carbon is not balanced so after completing valency of carbon, compound will become PhOCH2CH3.
Ether functional group has molecular formula ROR' where R and R' is an any alkyl or aryl group. In IUPAC nomenclature, first find the shortest chain on both side of O, and then add 'oxy' at the end of shortest chain name so the general name will become 'alkoxy' then after write longest chain name. In writing compound name, first write shortest chain name then longest chain name.
