It is a method to give a scientific name to the organic compounds recommended by the Indian Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

IUPAC rules used for naming of cycloalkanes

• Name the parent cycloalkane
• Assign numbering to the substituents
• Assign the first number to the bulky group
• Halogens get the first priority
• If both the substituent are on wedge or dash then the cis prefix is used
• If one substituent on the wedge and the other on the dash and vice-versa then the trans prefix is used
• Write the name of the molecule in alphabetic

As per the given IUPAC name, we find the structure of the molecule:

1. The parent cycloalkane is cyclohexane
2. The substituents are bromo and methyl
3. Bromo occupies 1 position and methyl occupies 3 position
4. One substituent is on the wedge and the other on the dash so trans configuration
5. Hence, IUPAC is trans-1-bromo,3-methyl cyclohexane
6. So, the structure is shown below:

As per the given IUPAC name, we find the structure of the molecule:

1. The parent cycloalkane is cyclobutane
2. The substituent is methyl and methyl
3. Methyl occupies 1 position and methyl occupy 2 position
4. Both substituent is on the wedge so cis configuration
5. Hence, IUPAC is cis-1,2-dimethyl cyclobutane
6. So, the structure is shown below:

As per the given IUPAC name, we find the structure of the molecule:

1. The parent cycloalkane is cyclohexane
2. The substituents are tert-butyl and ethyl
3. Tert-butyl occupies 1 position and ethyl occupy 2 position
4. One substituent is on the wedge and the other on the dash so trans configuration
5. Hence, IUPAC is trans-1-tert-butyl,2-ethyl cyclohexane
6. So, the structure as shown below:
