Interpretation:
The structural formulas and acceptable names for each of the given compounds are to be given.
Concept introduction:
A compound can have more than one name, one of which can be common and the other one, which is universally acceptable, is as per
The rules of IUPAC nomenclature are as follows:
The longest carbon chain needs to be chosen and numbered in such a way that the functional group gets the lowest possible number.
If two or more chains of the same number of carbon atoms are present, the one containing the functional group is taken as the main chain.
While naming, the carbon number to which a substituent is attached must be mentioned.
If two or more substituents are present in a compound, the preferred one will be the suffix and the other ones will be the prefixes.
If two prefixed groups are present, these are written in alphabetical order.
