Chapter 12, Problem 36P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Structural formulas and names for all the given isomeric compounds are to be written.

Concept introduction:

Isomers have the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.

One or more hydrogen atoms can be substituted to form benzene derivatives.

The substituents attached to the benzene derivatives can be arranged in more than one possible ways, giving rise to isomeric structures.

The carbon atom attacghed to the parent compound is always numbered 1, and the ring is numbered such that the other substituents get the lowest possible numbers.
