I recently posted a question for naming molecules that were my "unknowns" for ochem lab, but I suck at naming them correctly. Here is the pictures of the molecules that I am stuck with and my lab report is due 8am tomorrow!!! TIA

[cyclotomamine]

I know this is a late post to this, but maybe some help now can prepare you for next time.

The name of the compound comes from the primary chain being a propane group. It's important to realize the benzene ring is simply a phenyl group attached to the 1 carbon in the primary chain. Hence you have a propane with two methyl groups on the 2 carbon and one phenyl group on the 1 carbon.

The compound is a simple ester. The nomenclatures for esters can be found here http://home.att.net/~cat6a/org_chem-X.htm. The right side (acid side) of the ester in this case is a p-methylbenzyl group, in case you were confused by the extra methyl group.

The last compound is a little trickier. I recommend looking at it substitutively, with a phenoxy group attached to the 1 carbon of propanoic acid. For IUPAC substitutive nomenclature, you just put the two together to get 1-phenoxypropanoic acid.
