The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the provided IUPAC names are correct, we will analyze each option step by step based on the IUPAC nomenclature rules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure**: - For each option, we need to visualize or draw the molecular structure based on the given name. This helps in understanding the arrangement of carbon atoms, functional groups, and substituents. 2. **Numbering the Carbon Chain**: - Start numbering the carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain or ring. The numbering should prioritize the functional groups and the substituents to get the lowest possible numbers. 3. **Check for Functional Groups**: - Identify if there are any functional groups present in the structure. Functional groups take precedence in naming. 4. **Identify Unsaturation**: - Check for double or triple bonds (unsaturation). If present, they should be indicated in the name with the appropriate suffix (e.g., -ene for double bonds, -yne for triple bonds). 5. **Identify Substituents**: - Identify all substituents (alkyl groups, halogens, etc.) attached to the main chain. 6. **Assign Locants to Substituents**: - Assign numbers to the substituents based on their position on the carbon chain. If there are multiple substituents of the same type, use prefixes (di-, tri-, etc.) and list them in alphabetical order when writing the name. 7. **Construct the IUPAC Name**: - Combine the substituents and the main chain name according to the rules. Ensure to place substituents in alphabetical order regardless of their position numbers. 8. **Verify Each Option**: - For each IUPAC name provided, check if the constructed name matches the original name given in the options. ### Analysis of Each Option: - **Option 1**: 3-Ethyl-1,1-dimethylcyclohexane - Correctly identifies the cyclic structure with substituents. The numbering gives the lowest locants to the substituents. **This name is correct.** - **Option 2**: 1-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclohexane - The numbering is done correctly, and substituents are in the correct order. **This name is correct.** - **Option 3**: 2-Bromo-1-chloro-1-fluorocyclohexane - The numbering gives the lowest locants to the substituents, and the alphabetical order is maintained. **This name is correct.** - **Option 4**: 4-Bromo-1-chloro-2-fluorocyclohexane - The alphabetical order is not maintained as "Bromo" should come after "Chloro." **This name is incorrect.** ### Conclusion: The correct IUPAC names are from options 1, 2, and 3. Option 4 is incorrect.
