Problem: Determine the IUPAC names of the given organic molecules.
####
Step-by-Step Solution:
---
Question 1:
Molecule:
```
Br
CH3CHCHCH3
CH2CH3
```
####
Analysis:
1.
Identify the parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain has 5 carbons, so the parent chain is
pentane.
2.
Locate substituents:
- There is a bromine atom (Br) on the second carbon.
- There is an ethyl group (CH₂CH₃) on the third carbon.
3.
Number the chain: Start numbering from the end that gives the lowest possible numbers to the substituents. Here, numbering from the left gives:
- Bromine on C-2.
- Ethyl group on C-3.
4.
Name the compound: The IUPAC name is
2-bromo-3-ethylpentane.
####
Correct Answer:
(C) 2-bromo-3-methyl/pentane
---
Question 2:
Molecule:
```
CH3
CH2CHCH=CHCH3
CH3
```
####
Analysis:
1.
Identify the parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain has 6 carbons, so the parent chain is
hexene.
2.
Locate the double bond: The double bond is between C-2 and C-3.
3.
Locate substituents:
- There are methyl groups (CH₃) on C-2, C-3, and C-5.
4.
Number the chain: The double bond determines the numbering, starting from the end closest to it. The methyl groups are on C-2, C-3, and C-5.
5.
Name the compound: The IUPAC name is
2,3,5-trimethylhex-2-ene.
####
Correct Answer:
(A) 2,3,5-trimethylhex-2-ene
---
Question 3:
Molecule:
```
CH3
CH2CHCH2CH2CH3
CH3
CH3
```
####
Analysis:
1.
Identify the parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain has 6 carbons, so the parent chain is
hexane.
2.
Locate substituents:
- There are two methyl groups (CH₃) on C-2 and C-4.
3.
Number the chain: Start numbering from the end that gives the lowest possible numbers to the substituents. Here, numbering from the left gives:
- Methyl groups on C-2 and C-4.
4.
Name the compound: The IUPAC name is
2,4-dimethylhexane.
####
Correct Answer:
(A) 2,4-dimethylhexane
---
Question 4:
Molecule:
```
CH3
CH2CH=C(CH3)CH2CH3
CH3
```
####
Analysis:
1.
Identify the parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain has 5 carbons, so the parent chain is
pentene.
2.
Locate the double bond: The double bond is between C-2 and C-3.
3.
Locate substituents:
- There is an ethyl group (CH₂CH₃) on C-4.
- There is a methyl group (CH₃) on C-2.
4.
Number the chain: The double bond determines the numbering, starting from the end closest to it. The ethyl group is on C-4, and the methyl group is on C-2.
5.
Name the compound: The IUPAC name is
4-ethyl-2-pentene.
####
Correct Answer:
(A) 4-ethyl/pent-2-ene
---
Final Answers:
1.
(C) 2-bromo-3-methyl/pentane
