Answer #1

To name bicyclic copounds, you follow these three steps:

1. First count the total number of carbons in the entire molecule. This is the parent name (eg. ten carbons in the system would be decane).

2. Second count the number of carbons between the bridgeheads, then place in brackets in descending order. (eg. [2,2,1]).

3. Place the word bicyclo at the beginning of the name.
