Question

Give the IUPAC name for each of the following:

a.

b. 

c. 

d.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $2,2-dimethylbu\tan e$

(b) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $2-chloro-3-methylpen\tan e$

(c) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $4-ethyl-2,2-dimethylhexane$

(d) The IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.  is $methylcyclobu\tan e$

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The IUPAC name is the name of a compound  used around the world and written according to certain rules and regulations, some of which are 

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$2,2-dimethylbu\tan e$

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The IUPAC name is the name of a compound  used around the world and written according to certain rules and regulations, some of which are 

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$2-chloro-3-methylpen\tan e$

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e. 

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The IUPAC name is the name of a compound  used around the world and written according to certain rules and regulations, some of which are 

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,
$4-ethyl-2,2-dimethylhexane$

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

We need the find the IUPAC name of the given compound i.e.

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The IUPAC name is the name of a compound  used around the world and written according to certain rules and regulations, some of which are 

• The element with higher preference is given the lowest no. 
• The chain with a higher no. of carbon atoms is chosen 

So, the IUPAC name is,

$methylcyclobu\tan e$
