When naming cycloalkanes, how should substituents be numbered?
When naming cycloalkanes, how should substituents be numbered?
- Start at a point of attachment as C1 and number the substituents on the ring so that the third substituent has as low a number as possible.
- Start at a point of attachment as C1 and number the substituents on the ring so that the first substituent has as low a number as possible.
