Question

Write the IUPAC Nomenclature of the compound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4-Oxo Hexanal

Explanation:

Reasons:

• Longest chain is of 6 carbons so word root is 'Hex-'
• Since there are no double/triple bonds primary suffix will be '-ane' but since 2 vowels can't be together it will be '-an'
• Since aldehyde has higher priority in nomenclature of functional group we give it the first position and secondary suffix '-al'
• Since aldehyde is the main functional group in this compound the ketone group will be a substituent at 4th carbon with the secondary prefix being '-oxo'.

NOTE

( Secondary Prefix + Primary Prefix + Word Root + 1° suffix + 2° suffix)

( Substituents  + Cyclo/bicyclo + Carbon atom number + saturation(double triple bond)    + Functional group )
