Q. 11.45 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Convert each of the following line-angle formulas to a condensed structural formula and give its IUPAC name: ($11.3$)

a.

b.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The required condensed structural formula is  and IUPAC name is $2, 3-Dimethylhexane$

(b) The required condensed structural formula is  and IUPAC name is$2, 3, 4-Trimethylpen\tan e$ 

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed formula and IUPAC name of the given line angle formulas.

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The Condensed structural formula represents each element's symbol and the bond between each element 

Therefore, The required condensed structural formula is

 

And IUPAC name is the name that is accepted worldwide.

So, The IUPAC name is $2, 3-Dimethylhexane$

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed formula and IUPAC name of the given line angle formulas. 

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The Condensed structural formula represents each element's symbol and the bond between each element 

Therefore, The required condensed structural formula is 

And IUPAC name is the name that is accepted worldwide.

So, The IUPAC name is $2, 3, 4-Trimethylpen\tan e$
