Question

Give the IUPAC nomenclature of the following compounds.justify your answer according to IUPAC rule

Answer 1

So, this is our first structure. Now, we can see that a carbon chain is attached to a phenyl ring. This carbon chain contains three carbons so it will be called propyl and this propyl group attached to a phenyl ring. So, its name will be Propyl-benzene or n-propyl benzene. Here, we have used n-propyl because the three carbons are in a line and the phenyl ring is substituted at the terminal carbon, hence n stands for normal propyl group.
