Read Appendix B on naming bicyclic compounds. Then give IUPAC name for each of the following compounds.
a.
b.
c.
d.
(a)
Interpretation: The IUPAC name for the given bicyclic compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The root name of bicyclic compounds depends upon the number of carbon atoms present in the rings. The naming of bicyclic compounds is done as,
(1) The total number of carbon atoms in the molecule is to be counted. It represents the root name.
(2) The number of carbon atoms between the bridgeheads is to be counted and placed in square brackets in descending order.
(3) The word bicyclo is placed at the beginning of the name.
The general name such compounds is represented as
Answer to Problem 4.75P
The IUPAC name for the given bicyclic compound is
Explanation of Solution
The given bicyclic compound is shown below.
Figure 1
The given compound contains seven carbon atoms in the ring which are single bonded to each other. Therefore, the root name is heptane. In this case, there are
