Write the IUPAC name for the above compound.
1. Organic compounds containing
substituents from Group C are named following this sequence of
steps, as indicated on the examples below:
Step 1. Find the longest continuous
carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain. In
cyclic compounds, the ring is usually considered the parent chain,
unless it is attached to a longer chain of carbons; indicate a ring
with the prefix “cyclo” before the root name.
Step 2. Number the chain in the
direction such that the position number of the first substituent is
the smaller number. If the first substituents from either end have
the same number, then number so that the second substituent has the
smaller number, etc.
Step 3. Determine the name and
position number of each substituent.
Step 4. Indicate the number of
identical groups by prefixes di,tri,tetra, etc.
Step 5. Place the position numbers
and names of substituent groups, in alphabetical order, before the
root name. In alphabetizing, ignore prefixes like sec−,tert−,di,tri,etc., but include iso and cyclo. Always include a
position number for each substituent, regardless of redundancies.
IUPAC name for the above compound is- 2−chloro−hexane
