28.What is the correct IUPAC name for the following compound?A)12-crown-5B)12-crown-4C) 4-crown-12D)12-crown-12E)Cyclododec ane tetraether

12-crown-4

Explanation:

We must recall that any structural moiety in organic chemistry having the R-O-R unit is an ether. If the oxygen form a ring in which they are sandwiched in between carbon atoms, the compound is known as a crown ether. The name emanates from the close resemblance of the compound to an actual crown.

If we want to name the crown ether, we first count the number of carbon atoms present and the number of oxygen atoms present. The correct name is now, total number of carbon + oxygen atoms -crown- number of oxygen atoms, in this case; 12-crown-4, hence the answer.

12 is it do you think so
