Document Summary
Use benzene as a parent name if the substituent is ; less than the number of carbons on the benzene ring. If there are more than or equal carbons on the substituent than on the ring, then the alkyl group will become the parent name. A ring that is considered a substituent is called a phenol group. A benzyl group is a ring attached to a ch2. You place these in the beginning of naming to replace the numbers usually in the front that indicates the position of the alkyl substituents on the ring. Number in a way that the lowest values are chosen. If there is a tie, choose the side that is alphabetically in order. List all substituents in alphabetical order; di, tri, tert, etc. do not count. Common names can be used as parent names. If you do this, the numbering has to start from the substituent that gives the parent name.
