Identify structure of 2 , 3 -dibromo- 1 -phenylpentane.

Step-by-step solution

Rule 1 :- The longest chain in the molecule will be the parent chain. So, the first thing one should do is to find the longest carbon chain in the molecule. Rule 2 :- Find out all the substituents present on the carbon chain. It can be any- from methyl to any alcohol substituent. Rule 3 :- Start numbering the parent chain from the end such that the substituent gets the lowest number. This is called the lowest locant rule. Rule 4 :- If the substituent occurs more than one time, then the prefix di, tri or tetra is be
