Question

Write the IUPAC name of the given compound:

Hint:

In halogen-substituted benzene compounds, the positions of the substituents are numbered to give the lowest possible numbers to the substituents.

Answer 1

The compound is a halogenated benzene. Its IUPAC name is 3-Bromo-1-chlorocyclohexene.
- Number the benzene ring positions for the substituents to ensure the lowest possible numbers.
- Chlorine (Cl) is at position 1, and bromine (Br) is at position 3.


Step 1: Number the substituent positions on the benzene ring, assigning the lowest numbers to the substituents.


Step 2: Name the compound based on the substituent positions.
