QUESTION:
Give IUPAC names for the following compounds.
(a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OCH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right) \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
(b) \(\mathrm{PhOCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
(a)The first compound has a three-carbon long parent chain having the alcohol function group and methoxy substituent at the second carbon; therefore, its IUPAC name is 2-methoxypropan-1-ol.
(b)The first compound has a six-carbon long aromatic parent chain with the ethoxy substituent at the first carbon; its IUPAC name becomes ethoxybenzene.
(c)The third compound has a five-carbonlong cyclic parent chain having methoxy substituent at the first carbon; therefore, its IUPAC name ismethoxycyclopentane.
