Step 1: Analyze the structure of the compound in image (e). Identify the functional groups, the longest carbon chain, and any substituents attached to the chain.
Step 2: Determine the parent name of the compound in image (e) based on the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain and the type of functional group present (e.g., alkane, alkene, alkyne, alcohol, etc.).
Step 3: Assign locants (numbers) to the substituents and functional groups in image (e) to ensure the lowest possible numbering for the main functional group and substituents.
Step 4: Combine the substituent names, locants, and parent name to form the complete IUPAC name for the compound in image (e).
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 for the compound in image (f), following the same systematic approach to identify the functional groups, parent chain, substituents, and their positions, and then construct the IUPAC name.
