Question

The IUPAC name of

is:

Answer 1

Hint:For naming of a compound , IUPAC nomenclature is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the international union of pure and applied chemistry (IUPAC). It is published within the nomenclature of chemistry (informally called blue book).

Complete answer:
Our aim is to name the given compound , so for that certain rules should be followed .
-The given compound is an organic compound ,that is, it has carbon linked with atoms of other elements.
-For naming the compound we must observe the open chain structure so that we can see the different carbon atoms attached to different elements.
-We need to first identify the main chain, that is, the longest chain containing the functional groups and it may or may not be branched.
-In the compound the main chain contains four carbon atoms.
-The next step is to number the carbon atoms according to the preference of the groups.This means the smaller number is given to the carbon atom having stronger functional groups.
-Also, we start numbering the carbon atoms from where the branching is nearer and in case a functional group is present in the chain then it is preferred over the branching part.
-So according to the above information we can name the given compound
-So , IUPAC name of
    

is
= $2 - $ Ethoxy Ethanol.
Additional information:-
The IUPAC systematic approach to nomenclature, a rational nomenclature system should do a minimum of two things first, it should indicate how the carbon atoms of a given compound are bonded together during a character is tics lattice of chains and rings. Sewn, it should identify and locate any functional groups present within the compound.
Since hydrogen is such a standard component of organic compounds, its amount and locations are often assumed from the tetravalency of carbon, and wish not be laid out in most cases.

Note: IUPAC nomenclature is very helpful for studying and naming organic compounds. The fact that a lot of those compounds are isomers of compounds, requires that a scientific nomenclature system be developed.
