Solved NAMING AND DRAWING FUNCTIONAL GROUPS PRACTICE | Chegg.com - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step through each part of the worksheet. We’ll solve every question carefully, starting with drawing structures and naming compounds, then explaining a real-world concept, and finally working on ethers.

1. Draw the following alcohols

We need to draw the structural formulas based on the names. Remember: “-ol” means an OH group is attached. The number tells you which carbon the OH is on. For diols (two -OH groups), there are two OHs. For rings or double/triple bonds, we adjust accordingly.

a) heptan-2-ol
→ 7-carbon chain, OH on carbon #2
Structure: CH₃–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

b) 3-methylhexan-1-ol
→ 6-carbon chain, methyl group on carbon #3, OH on carbon #1
Structure: HO–CH₂–CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

c) cyclopropanol
→ 3-carbon ring, one OH attached to any carbon (all equivalent in cyclopropane)
Structure: Triangle with OH on one corner

d) 2,4,6-trichlorooctan-2-ol
→ 8-carbon chain, Cl on carbons 2,4,6; OH also on carbon 2
Structure: CH₃–C(Cl)(OH)–CH₂–CH(Cl)–CH₂–CH(Cl)–CH₂–CH₃

e) pentan-1,4-diol
→ 5-carbon chain, OH on carbon 1 and carbon 4
Structure: HO–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH(OH)–CH₃

f) benzene-1,3-diol
→ Benzene ring, OH groups on positions 1 and 3 (meta position)
Structure: Hexagon with alternating double bonds, OH at top and bottom-left corners

g) but-2-ene-1-ol
→ 4-carbon chain with double bond between C2-C3, OH on C1
Structure: HO–CH₂–CH=CH–CH₃

h) 4-methylpent-2-yne-1-ol
→ 5-carbon chain, triple bond between C2-C3, methyl on C4, OH on C1
Structure: HO–CH₂–C≡C–CH(CH₃)–CH₃

i) 3,4-dimethylcycloheptan-1-ol
→ 7-carbon ring, methyl groups on C3 and C4, OH on C1
Structure: Heptagon ring, OH on one carbon, methyls on next two adjacent carbons

*(Note: Since this is text-based, I’m describing the structures. In practice, you’d draw them with lines for bonds.)*

2. Name the following alcohols

Now we look at given structures and name them using IUPAC rules.

a) Structure: H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–OH
→ 5-carbon chain, OH on end → pentan-1-ol

b) Structure: H₃C–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₂–CH(OH)–CH₃
→ 6-carbon chain, OH on C2 and C5 → hexane-2,5-diol

c) Structure: HO–CH₂–CH(Cl)–CH₂–Cl? Wait — let’s read it again:
Actually, from your image description: HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, with another Cl on the middle carbon? Let me reconstruct:

Looking at c): It's HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, but the middle carbon has a Cl too? Actually, standard interpretation:
It’s 1-chloro-2-propanol? Wait — better: Carbon 1: CH₂OH, Carbon 2: CHCl, Carbon 3: CH₂Cl? No — actually, if it’s written as HO–CH–CH₂–Cl with a Cl on the first CH, that would be 1,2-dichloroethanol? Hmm.

Wait — looking back at common problems: likely it’s 2-chloroethanol? But structure shows three atoms: HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, and the middle carbon has a Cl? That would be 1,2-dichloroethanol? But that doesn’t make sense because ethanol only has 2 carbons.

Actually, re-examining: If it’s HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, and the first carbon after OH has a Cl, then it’s Cl–CH–CH₂–OH? That would be 1-chloro-2-propanol? No.

Better approach: Count carbons.

Assume structure c) is:
Carbon 1: CH₂OH
Carbon 2: CHCl
Carbon 3: CH₂Cl? That would be 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol? But that’s not matching.

Wait — perhaps it’s simply: HO–CH₂–CHCl–CH₂Cl? Then it’s 2,3-dichloropropan-1-ol? But let’s check standard answer.

Actually, from typical worksheets: Structure c) is often 2-chloroethanol if it’s just two carbons. But here it looks like three atoms drawn.

Given ambiguity, let’s assume based on common version:
If it’s HO–CH–CH₂–Cl with Cl on the CH, meaning carbon 1 is CH(OH), carbon 2 is CH₂Cl — that’s 2-chloroethanol? But ethanol has only 2 carbons.

I think there’s a misread. Let me try again.

From your original text: "c) HO–CH–CH₂–Cl" — probably it’s meant to be HO–CH(Cl)–CH₂–Cl? That would be 1,2-dichloroethanol? But again, ethanol is C2.

Perhaps it’s 3-chloropropan-1,2-diol? Too complex.

Wait — let’s skip and come back. Maybe it’s 1-chloro-2-propanol? Structure: CH₃–CH(OH)–CH₂Cl → that’s 1-chloropropan-2-ol.

Yes! That makes sense. So if the structure is:
HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, with a CH₃ on the first carbon? Not shown.

Actually, looking at d) etc., perhaps c) is:
HO–CH–CH₂–Cl, and the first carbon has H and OH and is connected to CH₂Cl — so it’s 2-chloroethanol? But that’s ClCH₂CH₂OH.

I think the intended structure for c) is 2-chloroethanol: Cl–CH₂–CH₂–OH? But that’s 2-chloroethanol? No, that’s 2-chloroethanol only if numbered from OH.

Standard: HO–CH₂–CH₂–Cl is 2-chloroethanol.

But in many worksheets, c) is drawn as a 3-carbon chain with OH on C1, Cl on C2, and nothing else — so 2-chloropropan-1-ol? Let’s assume that.

To avoid error, let’s list what’s clear:

d) Structure: H₃C–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–OH
→ Longest chain: 5 carbons? From left: C1 is CH₃, C2 is CH(CH₃), C3 is CH₂, C4 is CH(CH₃), C5 is CH₂OH → so chain is 5 carbons, methyl on C2 and C4, OH on C1? But C1 is CH₃, so OH must be on C5.

Numbering should start from OH end: so HO–CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₃ → that’s 4-methylpentan-1-ol? Wait, longest chain is 5 carbons: C1 (OH), C2, C3, C4, C5. Methyl on C2 and C4? But C2 and C4 both have methyl? Then it’s 2,4-dimethylpentan-1-ol.

Yes: 2,4-dimethylpentan-1-ol

e) Structure: cyclopentane ring with OH on one carbon → cyclopentanol

f) Structure: HC≡C–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₃
→ Triple bond at start, OH on C3? Chain: C1≡C2–C3(OH)–C4–C5 → pentynol. Number from triple bond end: C1≡C2–C3–C4–C5, OH on C3 → pent-1-yn-3-ol

g) Structure: benzene ring with OH on one carbon → phenol (common name) or hydroxybenzene, but IUPAC accepts phenol. However, since it’s monosubstituted, just phenol.

But wait — in some systems, they want systematic: benzenol. But usually phenol is accepted.

h) Structure: H₃C–C≡C–CH₂–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₃
→ Chain: 7 carbons? C1–C2≡C3–C4–C5(OH)–C6–C7 → hept-2-yn-5-ol

i) Structure: complicated branched chain with OH on a carbon that has two methyls and is connected to other chains. Let’s parse:

From description: H₃C–C(CH₃)₂–C(CH₃)₂–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃? Or something.

Actually, likely: central carbon with OH, attached to: one H, one CH₂CH₂CH₃, and one C(CH₃)? And another group?

Standard problem: it’s 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol or similar.

Let’s count: the carbon with OH is attached to:
- CH₂CH₂CH₃ (propyl)
- C(CH₃)₃ (tert-butyl)
- and another C(CH₃)? No.

From your text: "H₃C–C–C–HC–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃" with CH₃ groups on the Cs.

Probably: (CH₃)C–C(CH₃)₂–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

Longest chain: from propyl end through OH to tert-butyl? That’s 6 carbons: C1 (of propyl) – C2 – C3 (OH) – C4 – C5 – C6 (but C4,C5,C6 are part of tert-butyl?).

Better: the carbon with OH is C1 of a chain? No.

Standard way: find longest continuous chain including the OH-bearing carbon.

Here, the OH is on a carbon that is attached to:
- a propyl group (CH₂CH₂CH₃)
- a tert-butyl group (C(CH₃)₃)
- and a dimethyl-substituted carbon?

Actually, likely the structure is:
(CH₃)₃C–C(CH₃)₂–CH(OH)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

So longest chain: from end of propyl to end of one methyl in tert-butyl? That’s 6 carbons:
C1–C2–C3(OH)–C4–C5–C6, where C4 is quaternary with two methyls, C5 is quaternary with three methyls? Messy.

Perhaps it’s 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol? Let’s define:

Chain: C1–C2–C3–C4–C5–C6
With OH on C4, and methyls on C2 and C3.

If C2 has two methyls, C3 has two methyls, then it’s 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol.

Yes, that fits. So 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol

Back to c): Given time, let’s say it’s 2-chloroethanol if it’s two carbons, but from context, likely 1-chloro-2-propanol or similar. To resolve, assume structure is HO–CH₂–CHCl–CH₃ → that’s 1-chloropropan-2-ol? No, if OH on C1, Cl on C2, it’s 2-chloropropan-1-ol.

Standard: if carbon 1 is CH₂OH, carbon 2 is CHCl, carbon 3 is CH₃ → 2-chloropropan-1-ol

I’ll go with that.

So summary for 2:

a) pentan-1-ol
b) hexane-2,5-diol
c) 2-chloropropan-1-ol [assuming structure]
d) 2,4-dimethylpentan-1-ol
e) cyclopentanol
f) pent-1-yn-3-ol
g) phenol
h) hept-2-yn-5-ol
i) 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol

3. Explain why propane used in BBQ is gas at room temperature, but 2-propanol is liquid.

Propane is C₃H₈ — small molecule, only weak London forces between molecules. These forces are easy to overcome, so it boils at low temperature (-42°C), hence gas at room temp.

2-Propanol is C₃H₇OH — has an OH group, so it can form hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are much stronger than London forces, so more energy is needed to separate molecules. Thus, boiling point is higher (82°C), so it’s liquid at room temperature.

Simple analogy: Propane molecules are like smooth marbles that slide apart easily. 2-Propanol molecules are like magnets that stick together, needing more heat to pull apart.

4. Draw the following ethers

Ethers have R–O–R' structure.

a) 1-propoxypentane
→ Propoxy group (CH₃CH₂CH₂O–) attached to pentane (C₅H₁₁–)
Structure: CH₃CH₂CH₂–O–CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

b) 2-ethoxybutane
→ Ethoxy (CH₃CH₂O–) attached to butane at carbon 2
Structure: CH₃CH₂–O–CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃

c) 1-methoxy-4-chlorohexane
→ Methoxy (CH₃O–) on C1, chloro on C4 of hexane
Structure: CH₃O–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH(Cl)–CH₂–CH₃

d) 3-butoxy-2,4-dimethyloctane
→ Butoxy (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂O–) on C3, methyls on C2 and C4 of octane
Structure: CH₃–CH(CH₃)–CH(O–CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃)–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

e) 2-propoxy-4-phenylheptane
→ Propoxy on C2, phenyl on C4 of heptane
Structure: CH₃–CH(O–CH₂CH₂CH₃)–CH₂–CH(C₆H₅)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃

f) 1-ethoxycyclopentane
→ Ethoxy attached to cyclopentane ring
Structure: Cyclopentane with –O–CH₂CH₃ group

---

5. Name the following ethers

a) Structure: H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–O–CH₂–CH₃
→ Left: propyl, right: ethyl → ethoxypropane or 1-ethoxypropane (since symmetric numbering not needed)

IUPAC: choose smaller group as alkoxy. Ethyl < propyl, so ethoxypropane

b) Structure: H₃C–CH(CH₃)–CH₂–O–CH₃
→ Right: methoxy, left: isobutyl group? Chain: from O, left is CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₃ → that’s 1-methoxy-2-methylpropane

Longest chain from O: O–CH₂–CH(CH₃)–CH₃ → so parent is butane? With methoxy on C1, methyl on C2 → 1-methoxy-2-methylpropane

c) Structure: H₃C–CH(CH₃)–CH(O–CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃)–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃? Wait, from description:
"H₃C–CH–CH–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃" with CH₃ on first CH, and O–CH–CH₂–CH₃ with CH₃ on the CH.

So: the ether oxygen is attached to a carbon that is part of a chain: specifically, the main chain is hexane? With a branch.

Carbon with O: it’s CH, attached to: H, O–R, and two alkyl groups.

From text: "H₃C–CH–CH–CH₂–CH₂–CH₃" — so C1: CH₃, C2: CH (with CH₃?), C3: CH (with O–something), C4: CH₂, C5: CH₂, C6: CH₃

And O is attached to CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃ — so the alkoxy group is 1-methylpropoxy or sec-butoxy.

Specifically: O–CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃ → that’s butan-2-yl oxy, so sec-butoxy

Main chain: from C1 to C6 is 6 carbons, but C2 has a methyl, C3 has the O-group.

So longest chain is still 6 carbons: C1–C2–C3–C4–C5–C6, with methyl on C2, and sec-butoxy on C3.

Name: 3-(sec-butoxy)-2-methylhexane

But IUPAC prefers systematic: the alkoxy group is butan-2-yloxy.

So 3-(butan-2-yloxy)-2-methylhexane

Alternatively, since sec-butyl is common, but better to use systematic.

Confirm: the group O–CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃ is derived from butane, with attachment at C2, so butan-2-yl.

Thus, 3-(butan-2-yloxy)-2-methylhexane

Now, compiling all answers clearly.

b) HOCH₂CH₂CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₂CH₃
c) Cyclopropane ring with OH on one carbon
d) CH₃C(Cl)(OH)CH₂CH(Cl)CH₂CH(Cl)CH₂CH₃
e) HOCH₂CH₂CH₂CH(OH)CH₃
f) Benzene ring with OH at positions 1 and 3
g) HOCH₂CH=CHCH₃
h) HOCH₂C≡CCH(CH₃)CH₃
i) Cycloheptane ring with OH on C1, CH₃ on C3 and C4

2. Name the following alcohols:
a) pentan-1-ol
b) hexane-2,5-diol

e) cyclopentanol
f) pent-1-yn-3-ol
g) phenol
h) hept-2-yn-5-ol
i) 2,2,3,3-tetramethylhexan-4-ol

3. Explanation:
Propane is a small nonpolar molecule with only weak intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces), so it has a very low boiling point and is a gas at room temperature. 2-Propanol has an OH group that allows strong hydrogen bonding between molecules, requiring more energy to separate them, resulting in a higher boiling point and liquid state at room temperature.

4. Draw the following ethers:
a) CH₃CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃
b) CH₃CH₂OCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃

e) CH₃CH(OCH₂CH₂CH₃)CH₂CH(C₆H₅)CH₂CH₂CH₃
f) Cyclopentane with –OCH₂CH₃ group

5. Name the following ethers:
a) ethoxypropane
