Question

Name each of the following aromatic compounds: 

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Part(a) The compound is named as $3-Chlorotoluene$

Part(b) The compound is named as $4-Bromoaniline$

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to name the aromatic compounds.

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

We know IUPAC name of Methylbenzene is also Toluene. 

Hence in given structure toluene is substituted with chloro group at meta position.

Therefore, the compound is named as $3-Chlorotoluene$

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to name the aromatic compounds.

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

We know IUPAC name of benzene with amine group  is also Aniline.

Hence in given structure aniline is substituted with bromo group at para position.

Therefore, the compound is named as $4-Bromoaniline$
