Page 249, Figure 7.4 The bottom right structure is 1,1,3-trichloro-1,3,3-trifluoropropane
Page 250, middle of the page Rule 5 should read ' ...gives the lowest number(s) to the halogen(s) in alphabetical order: for example 1-bromo-2-fluoroethane not 2-bromo-1-fluoroethane and 1,1,3-trichloro-1,3,3-trifluoropropane not 1,3,3-trichloro-1,1,3-trifluoropropane'.
That is, delete ' ...to the most electronegative halogen, the order of electronegativity being F > Cl > Br > I', insert the bromofluoro example and change the numbering in the propane example.
Page 250, paragraph after Isomers heading 5th line. Change '1,3,3-trichloro-1,1,3-trifluoropropane' to '1,1,3-trichloro-1,3,3-trifluoropropane'. (The name under the right hand structure below this is correct.)

Page 360, Exercise 12 Top left box of the flow chart should be 1-butyl hexanoate  (insert 1-)
Page 367 fourth line after heading Anionic surfactants: formula should be
R–SO2–O(delete extra O). Similarly near the right hand end of the structure in the sixth line delete the O between the benzene ring and the SO2 (SO2 should be directly attached to the benzene ring).
