Hi everyone,
So I am performing a michael aldol condensation experiment and i was wondering if anyone can help with the naming. An example of naming would be 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. This example was in my lab manual; the compound I am synthesizing, has a (p) or 4-methyl on only one of the diphenyls of the example compound. So my question is, I understand that when a benzene ring has a methyl, it is named toluene. This is how i am naming my compound: 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenyl-5-(4-methylbenzyl)-2-cyclohexenone. Does this sound right? my next guess would be to -5-((p)-toluenyl)-2-cyclo... thanks for the help.
