Assign an IUPAC name to each of the compounds in Problem 12-63.

a.

b.

c.

d.

Interpretation:

IUPAC name for the given alkane has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).  IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.

Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule.  It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.

Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.

To name an alkane, the first step is to find the longest carbon chain.  The next step is to identify the substituents that are present in the longest carbon chain.  The numbering has to be given in a way that the substituents get the least numbering.

Given structure is,

First step is to identify the longest continuous chain.  In the given structure, the longest continuous chain is found to contain eight carbon atoms.  The parent alkane in the given structure is octane.  This is shown below,

Next step is to identify the substituents that are present in the given structure...

Interpretation:

IUPAC name for the given alkane has to be written.
