Q7.23:

Give IUPAC names of the following ethers:

Solution :

Step 1: IUPAC Nomenclature Rules for Ethers

According to IUPAC recommendations, ethers are named as alkoxyalkanes. The smaller alkyl group is treated as the alkoxy substituent attached to the parent alkane (the larger alkyl group). The general formula is $R-O-R'$, where the IUPAC name is $Alkoxy + Alkane$. [Per IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, Rule P-61.2.1].

Step 2: Analysis of the Given Chemical Structure

The structure provided represents a cyclic ether with a benzene ring substituent. Specifically, the structure is $C_6H_5-O-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3$.

  • Parent Chain: The propyl group ($C_3H_7$) is the alkane chain.
  • Substituent: The phenoxy group ($-OC_6H_5$) is attached to the first carbon of the propane chain.

Step 3: Determining the IUPAC Name

The substituent $C_6H_5O-$ is called a phenoxy group. Attached to a three-carbon chain (propane), the numbering starts from the carbon attached to the oxygen to maintain the lowest locant rule. Thus, the group is attached to carbon-1 of the propane chain.

Structure: $CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-O-C_6H_5$

IUPAC Name: 1-phenoxypropane

Step 4: Visual Representation of 1-phenoxypropane

O CH2 CH2 CH3 1 2 3

Step 5: Theoretical Justification

By the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (CIP) priority rules and IUPAC standard for ethers, the ether oxygen is treated as part of the alkoxy group if one chain is aromatic. As the phenoxy group ($-OC_6H_5$) is the alkoxy moiety and the propane chain is the parent alkane, the resulting name is 1-phenoxypropane [Ref: IUPAC Blue Book, P-61.2].

Final Solution: 1-phenoxypropane

Hi! I’m Vinotha Arulkumar, a passionate Maths Teacher from Chennai. My qualifications are M. Sc., M. Phil. and B. Ed in Mathematics. From my 10th standard onwards, I got many centum in maths. I’m the topper of my batch in my Under Graduation, M. Phil., and B. Ed. And also I’m the gold medalist in my M. Sc., Mathematics. I possess about 16 years of teaching experience in the field of education. One year in Arts and science college, seven years in Engineering colleges and taking tuition for 10th and 12th maths for more than 10 years. In Arts and Science College I handled B. Sc., Mathematics and M. Com. In Engineering colleges, I handled maths papers for BE, B. Tech., ME, M. Tech., MCA and MBA. While working in engineering colleges, I have received Proficiency Awards for 6 times as I produced 100% results in engineering mathematics. Due to the pandemic situation, presently I’m taking online classes only. I can teach in English and Tamil. My usual class duration is 1 Hr. The key element of my teaching method is to keep on interacting with students while teaching. Before getting in to a problem, usually I will make the students understand the concepts and fundamentals of the chapter first. Then, I will let the students to understand the problem and let them solve it with my guidance. So that they will never forget the concepts. I often conduct online MCQ assessments to evaluate the progress of my students. Bases on the assessment results, I will give individual attention to each student. I keep producing excellent results every year through my vast knowledge & experience in Mathematics. Lot of my students got centum marks in their board exams! Thank you and all the best for your bright future!
