Study Notes
Naming Benzene Derivatives
- When two or more groups are attached to a benzene ring, their positions are indicated by numbering the carbon atoms of the ring.
- The goal is to obtain the lowest possible numbers for the attachment positions.
- The group that comes first alphabetically is given the lower number.
