Chapter 15.1, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 15.1, Problem 1P , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Whether the compound given is ortho-, meta-, or para-disubstituted is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Disubstituted benzenes are named using the prefixes ortho (o), meta (m) and para (p). An ortho-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,2-relationship on the ring. A meta-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,3-relationship on the ring. A para-disubstituted benzene has its two substituent groups in a 1,4-relationship on the ring.

To state:

Whether the compound given is ortho-, meta-, or para-disubstituted.
