Q. 12.56 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Give the IUPAC name for each of the following:

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) IUPAC name of compound is $2-bu\tan one$

(b) IUPAC name of compound is  $2,4 dichloro benzaldehyde$

(c) IUPAC name of compound is  $3,4 dimethyl pen\tan al$

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the IUPAC of given compound.

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We are given a compound in which $CO$ group is present that's why counting start from near carbon Atom to that ketone group Therefore, the IUPAC name is $2- bu\tan one$.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the IUPAC of given compound.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We are given a compound in which $-CHO$ group is present and it is higher preference than other Groups that's why counting start from that group and move toward second group so the IUPAC Name is  $2,4 dichloro benzaldehyde$

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We need to find the IUPAC name of given compound.

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

We are given a compound in which $CHO$ group is present that's why counting start from that side Therefore, IUPAC name is $3,4 dimethyl pen\tan al$.
