Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the compound is:
- CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C₆H₅
1. The functional group is of the kind R - O - R', i.e. two alkyl groups each attached to one end of the oxygen atom. That means that the compound is an ether.
2. One group attached to the oxygen group is CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - which has 4 carbons and is named butyl group.
3. The other group attached to the oxygen atom is C₆H₅ - which is derived from ciclohexane as is known as phenyl group.
4. Using the rule of naming the subtituents in alphabetical order, you name butyl first and phenyl second, so it is butylphenyl ether.
