Solution

To systematically name organic molecules using the IUPAC nomenclature, we follow a specific set of rules. However, since I can't see the structures you refer to, I can provide you with a general guide for naming organic compounds. Here’s how you can systematically derive the IUPAC name:

1. Identify the Longest Carbon Chain

Look for the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule. This chain will determine the base name of the compound.

2. Number the Carbon Chain

Number the carbon atoms in the chain starting from the end that gives the substituents (branches or functional groups) the lowest possible numbers.

3. Identify Substituents

Look for any branches or substituents on the longest chain. Common substituents include alkyl groups, halogens, and functional groups.

4. Assign Locants to Each Substituent

Specify the position of each substituent by the number of the carbon atom to which it is attached.

5. Assemble the Name

Combine the names of the substituents (in alphabetical order) along with their corresponding locants, followed by the base name of the longest chain. Use hyphens to separate numbers from letters and commas to separate multiple numbers.

6. Include Functional Groups if Present

If the molecule has functional groups, determine the highest priority functional group to dictate the suffix of the name and adjust the base name accordingly.

Example

For example, consider a molecule with a six-carbon chain with a methyl group on the second carbon and a hydroxyl group on the first carbon:

  1. Longest Chain: The longest chain is hexane (6 carbons).
  2. Numbering: Number the carbons: 1 - OH, 2 - CH3, 3 - C, 4 - C, 5 - C, 6 - C.
  3. Substituents: Hydroxyl group at carbon 1 and a methyl group at carbon 2.
  4. Locants: Hydroxyl (1) and Methyl (2).
  5. Assemble: The name will be 2-methylhexan-1-ol, where "-ol" indicates the presence of the hydroxyl functional group.

Final Name

In this case, the systematic name would be 2-methylhexan-1-ol.

You can apply this procedure to any organic structure you may have. If you provide specific structures, I can assist with naming those directly!
