[QUOTE="Sunwoo Bae, post: 6452585, member: 638568"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] My textbook indicates that the following figure can be named in two ways, but I do not understand how the second one is a valid name. [ATTACH type="full"]277373[/ATTACH] I understand the first one, which indicates that there is a phenyl group in the second carbon of pentane. But where did the 2 in 2-pentylbenzene come from? Shouldn't if it be just pentylbenzene, since there is only one subtitute(pentane) on the benzene? If not, would you explain why? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
