Concept explainers
Interpretation:
IUPAC names of the given compounds are to be given, using rules found in the chapter or more rules need to be provided are to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
First, give priority according to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention rules:
The higher the
If priority cannot be assigned according to atomic mass, then assign priority according to the first point of difference.
If both the priority groups are on the same side of a double-bonded carbon atom, then it is known as
If both the priority groups are diagonal to each other, then it is
