Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given compound should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrocarbon compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms that contain multiple bond(s) are said to be
In order to give the name to the unsaturated hydrocarbon following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest) continuous carbon chain containing multiple bonds between the carbon atoms is selected.
2. While writing the name of alkene, the suffix “ane” of the corresponding
3. Name should be written in alphabetical order and numbering should be done in such a way that the multiple bond and substituent group gets lowest number.
4. Hyphen is used to connect the number to the name.
For number of carbons atoms in alkane chain, the prefix is given as:
Carbon-1 meth
Carbon-2 eth
Carbon-3 prop
Carbon-4 but
Carbon-5 pent
Carbon-6 hex
Carbon-7 hept
Carbon-8 oct
Carbon-9 non
Carbon-10 dec
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given compound should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
In order to give the IUPAC name to the alkane following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest) continuous carbon chain is identified.
2. The ending of the parent chain for alkane (-e) is -ane.
3. Name should be written in alphabetical order and numbering should be done in such a way that the substituent group gets lowest number.
4. Hyphen is used to connect the number to the name.
For number of carbons atoms in alkane chain, the prefix is given as:
Carbon-1 meth
