Polysubstituted benzenes:
In polysubstituted benzenes, minimum two and maximum six substituents are attached.
These groups are either functional group (-COOH, -HC=O, -C=O, -OH (phenoilc or
alcoholic), -NH2 (amines or anilines), etc; or non-functional groups –CH3, -X
(halogens), -NO2, -OR, etc; identical or different, simple or complex, etc.
1. When all the substituents are identical, then used the prefix di, tri, tetra, penta,
hexa before the name of the substituent. The numbering is done such that the
substituent carbon has lowest priority (number).
2. When the substituents are different, then they are mentioned in alphabetical
order in the name. The numbering is done such that the substituent carbon has
lowest priority (number). Generally, the first substituent has lowest number.

1. All the substituents are same, then used prefix tri- before the
name of the substituent. The numbering is done such that
substituent carbon has least priority (number).
2. If two substituents are identical and one different or all
substituents are different, then naming is done in alphabetical
order. The numbering is done to maintaining the least total
(priority principle).

crown ether. It is named as x-crown-y; x is total number of atoms in
ring and y is number of oxygen atoms in ether linkage.
