Q9.2(e):

Write IUPAC names of the following compounds :

(e) 

Solution :

Structural Analysis & IUPAC Identification

The provided molecular structure represents an unsaturated hydrocarbon featuring a benzene ring substituted with an ethyl group and a methyl group. Based on the chemical structure, the compound is: $1\text{-ethyl-}2\text{-methylbenzene}$.

Step 1: Parent Chain Selection

According to [IUPAC Nomenclature Rules for Aromatic Hydrocarbons], the parent structure is benzene. Substituents are assigned the lowest possible locants to ensure numerical precision [Rule: Lowest Locant Rule].

Step 2: Numbering the Ring

When multiple substituents are present on a benzene ring, the priority for numbering follows alphabetical order for simple alkyl groups.

  • Ethyl starts with 'e'.
  • Methyl starts with 'm'.
  • 'e' precedes 'm' alphabetically.
Therefore, the carbon atom attached to the ethyl group is assigned position $1$, and the carbon attached to the methyl group is assigned position $2$ to maintain the lowest set of locants $(1, 2)$.

1 2 CH$_2$CH$_3$ CH$_3$

Step 3: Nomenclature Synthesis

Combining the components:

Component Value
Substituent 1 1-ethyl
Substituent 2 2-methyl
Parent benzene

Step 4: Verification

By [IUPAC P-14.5], substituents are cited in alphabetical order.

  • Ethyl precedes Methyl.
  • Positions are identified as $1$ and $2$.
  • The structure confirms a benzene ring with an ortho-substitution pattern (1,2-disubstituted).

Final Solution: 1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene

I am an educator with 9 years of teaching experience, specializing in English and Social Science for students from Class 1 to Class 12. Over the years, I have worked with learners from diverse academic backgrounds and age groups, helping them build a strong understanding of concepts while improving their overall academic performance and confidence. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and have also completed a TESOL certification. This professional training has strengthened my ability to teach English effectively, especially to students who are developing their language skills. It has helped me adopt learner-friendly techniques that focus on clarity, communication, and real-life usage of the language. My teaching experience spans primary, middle, and senior secondary levels, which allows me to adapt my teaching style according to the learner’s age and learning pace. In both English and Social Science, I focus on developing conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and answer-writing skills that are essential for school exams and overall academic growth. I follow a structured and well-planned lesson approach for every class. Each topic is taught step by step, starting from the basics and gradually moving to deeper understanding. I ensure that students are comfortable with the subject matter before progressing further, making learning less stressful and more effective. My classes are interactive and student-focused. I encourage students to ask questions, share their thoughts, and participate actively during lessons. I use practical examples, real-life connections, and discussions to make concepts easier to understand and more engaging, especially in subjects like Social Science. I conduct both online and offline classes and make use of PPTs and whiteboard-based teaching to support visual learning. My aim is to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel motivated, confident, and well-prepared to perform well academically while developing a genuine interest in English and Social Science.
