Systematic nomenclature of cycloalkanes

The procedure used to name a cycloalkane by the IUPAC method is very similar to that used for alkanes. Here, the root designates the number of carbons in the ring and the prefix cyclo- is attached to indicate that the compound contains a ring. The rules for numbering the ring carbons are as follows  [Pg.155]

No number is needed if only one group is attached to the ring. [Pg.155]

For rings with multiple substituents, begin numbering at one substituent and proceed in the direction that gives the lowest numbers to the remaining substituents. [Pg.155]

In cases in which the alkyl chain has more carbons than the ring, the compound is named as an alkane with the ring as a substituent group with a -yl suffix. [Pg.156]

Draw structures for these compounds a) 1.1-Dimethylcyclohexane b) Ethylcyclopropane [Pg.156]
