Exercise 2.43 (e) in Green course reader

Postby Sanjay_Kumar_2J » Sun Mar 19, 2017 12:39 am

Can someone explain why, that in question 2.43 (e) in the green course reader, that the methoxy in the beginning of the name has a 4 position. Would it not be 5? Thanks

Hi Sanjay!

If you count the carbons of the cyclohexane counterclockwise from the double bond, you should get the methoxy attached to the 4th carbon. :)
