Verified step by step guidance

Identify the functional group present in the cyclic compound. The image shows a six-membered ring with a ketone group (C=O) attached to it, indicating that the compound is a cyclic ketone.

Determine the position of the ketone group. In cyclic ketones, the carbonyl group is typically assigned the lowest possible number, which is position 1 in this case.

Identify the substituent attached to the ring. The image shows a bromine atom attached to the ring. Determine its position relative to the ketone group. The bromine is attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group, which is position 3.

Combine the information to name the compound systematically. The name should reflect the position of the bromine substituent and the presence of the ketone group. The bromine is at position 3, and the ketone is at position 1, forming a cyclohexanone ring.

The systematic name of the compound is formed by placing the substituent name and its position before the name of the cyclic ketone. Therefore, the compound is named 3-bromocyclohexanone.
