Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the given nitrile, the IUPAC name is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The IUPAC name of the given nitrile is made up of two parts. The first part is the root according to the longest carbon chain that includes the nitrile carbon or the ring to which the nitrile functional group is attached. This may include the name of any substituents present as a prefix. The suffix nitrile is simply appended to the root name instead of replacing the final e. If any chiral carbons are present, their absolute configuration is determined on the basis of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules and listed at the start along with the carbon number.

(b)

Interpretation:

For the given nitrile, the IUPAC name is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The IUPAC name of the given nitrile is made up of two parts. The first part is the root according to the longest carbon chain that includes the nitrile carbon or the ring to which the nitrile functional group is attached. This may include the name of any substituents present as a prefix. The suffix nitrile is simply appended to the root name instead of replacing the final e. If the root is a ring, the suffix carbonitrile is used. If any chiral carbons are present, their absolute configuration is determined on the basis of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules and listed at the start along with the carbon number.
