a) 6-bromo-2-chlorocyclohexene b) 3-bromo-1-chlorocyclohexene c) 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexene d) 2-bromo-6-chlorocyclohexene Answer: c) 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexene

Step by step solution

01

Identify the parent chain

In this case, the parent chain is cyclohexene, which is a 6-membered ring with one double bond. All of the options have this as their base name, so we can continue to the next step.
02

Assign numbering to the substituents

We have two substituents: bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl). According to IUPAC naming rules, the lower locant number should be assigned to the substituent nearest to the double bond of cyclohexene. If there is a tie, then the alphabetical order should break that tie. We analyze each option: (a) 6-bromo-2-chlorocyclohexene: Here, bromine is at the 6th position, and chlorine is at the 2nd position. (b) 3-bromo-1-chlorocyclohexene: Bromine is at the 3rd position and chlorine is at the 1st position. In this case, the chlorine is closest to the double bond, which is preferable according to the naming rules. (c) 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexene: Bromine is at the 1st position, and chlorine is at the 3rd position. Here, bromine is closest to the double bond. (d) 2-bromo-6-chlorocyclohexene: Bromine is at the 2nd position, and chlorine is at the 6th position.
03

Choose the correct option based on numbering and alphabetical order

After analyzing the numbers assigned to the substituents in each option and checking the alphabetical order rule, the correct choice should be (c) 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexene. In this option, the bromine is closest to the double bond and it is also consistent with alphabetical order rules. So, the IUPAC name of the given compound is 1-bromo-3-chlorocyclohexene.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Directions: Each question contains Statement-1 and Statement-2 and has the following choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct. (a) Statement- 1 is True, Statement- 2 is True; Statement- 2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 (b) Statement- 1 is True, Statement- 2 is True; Statement- 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1 (c) Statement-1 is True, Statement- 2 is False (d) Statement- 1 is False, Statement- 2 is True Statement 1 Boiling point of n-pentane is higher than that of neopentane while the melting point of \(n\) -pentane is lower than that of neopentane. and Statement 2 Boiling point of alkanes depend upon the surface area while melting point depends upon the packing of molecules in the solid state. Neopentane fits into the crystal lattice more readily and it has minimum surface area compared to n-pentane.

This section contains multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE is correct. Alkanes are chemically unreactive. However they undergo the type of reactions except (a) Halogenation (b) oxidation (c) addition (d) Nitration

Identify the reaction in which the equation is represented correctly (a) \(\mathrm{CF}_{3} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\mathrm{HBr} \rightarrow \mathrm{CF}_{3} \mathrm{CHBr} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\)

Which group or atom in each of the following pairs gets priority according to CIP rules used for assigning \(\mathrm{R}\) and \(\mathrm{S}\) configuration for chiral molecules? (a) \(-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\) or \(-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}\) (b) \(-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}\) or \(-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}(\mathrm{c})-\mathrm{NH}_{2}\) or \(-\mathrm{OH}\) (d) \(-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\) or \(-\mathrm{CHO}\) Choose from the options given below \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (a) } \mathrm{A}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}, & \mathrm{B}:-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}, & \mathrm{C}:-\mathrm{NH}_{2}, & \mathrm{D}:-\mathrm{CHO}\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (b) } \mathrm{A}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}, & \mathrm{B}:-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}, & \mathrm{C}:-\mathrm{OH}, & \mathrm{D}:-\mathrm{CHO}\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (c) } \mathrm{A}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}, & \mathrm{B}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}, & \mathrm{C}:-\mathrm{NH}_{2}, & \mathrm{D}:-\mathrm{CHO}\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (d) } \mathrm{A}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}, & \mathrm{B}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}, & \mathrm{C}:-\mathrm{OH}, & \mathrm{D}:-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\end{array}\)

Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes towards electrophilic reagents. But the alkyne chemistry is useful for organic synthesis, in the form of hydration of the triple bond, formation of metalacetylides, selective reduction of alkynes and few other related reactions. Acetylene and HCHO react together in the presence of \(\mathrm{NaOCH}_{3}\) to give (a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{OH}\) (b) \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\) (c) \(\mathrm{HOH}_{2} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\) (d) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHOH}-\mathrm{CHOH}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
