Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Nomenclature needs to be done for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: Nomenclature of
First method- Parent
Second method: Oxirane ring is considered as parent and groups attached to it are considered as substituents.
(b)
Interpretation: Nomenclature needs to be done for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: Nomenclature of epoxides: Epoxides are cyclic ethers having an oxygen atom incorporated in a three-membered ring system having up to four R groups. Due to ring strain, they are more reactive than other ethers. The simplest epoxide does not have any R group and is known as ethylene oxide. Naming is done by two methods.
First method- Parent alkane chain is identified and oxygen is considered as a substituent on that chain. The location of the epoxide group is written with two numbers with the suffix epoxy. While naming, epoxy substituents are alphabetically arranged.
Second method: Oxirane ring is considered as parent and groups attached to it are considered as substituents.
