Video transcript

Welcome back, everyone, give the name of the ether. We're given an Ether and we want to recall that eer have a general form of R one or two. Where are, are there ALCA substituents. Now, whenever we went to name an Ether, we essentially use the general name of LK one LK two, followed by Ether. And we want to arrange those Alky subscriptions alphabetically. What we notice in the given ether is that one of our Alky substituents is a metal group because it only contains one carbon atom. Now, the other subscription that we have is on the right and we want to count the number of carbon atoms. That'd be 12345 and a five membered alk group is called pencil. So we have all of the information we need. We now want to arrange them alphabetically. We will start with M because it gets the alphabetical priority followed by P. So the name would be meso, that's our LK one followed by pencil. That's our kill too. And now we want to finish our name with Ether. That's our final answer. Thank you for watching.
