Q. 12.4 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Draw the condensed structural formula, or line-angle formula if cyclic, for each of the following: 

a. ethyl alcohol 

b. $3$-methyl-$1$-butanol

c. $1$-propane thiol

d. $2$-chlorophenol

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The structure of the compound is ${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-\mathrm{OH}$.

(b)The structure of the compound is${\mathrm{CH}}_2\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-\mathrm{CH}\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)-{\mathrm{CH}}_3$.

(c)The structure of the compound is${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\left(\mathrm{SH}\right)$

(d)The structure of the compound is  

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We are given the name of the compound and we have to find the structure of the compound.

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The name of the compound is ethyl alcohol, and it contains ethane and alcohol,

which gives the structure${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-\mathrm{OH}$.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We are given the name of the compound and we have to find the structure of the compound.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The name of the compound is$3-\mathrm{methyl}-1-\mathrm{butanol}$ , and it contains butane and methyl 

which gives the structure${\mathrm{CH}}_2\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-\mathrm{CH}\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)-{\mathrm{CH}}_3$.

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

We are given the compound structure and we have to find out the IUPAC name of the compound.

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

The name of the compound is $1-\mathrm{propanethiol}$, and it contains propane and thiol,

which gives the structure${\mathrm{CH}}_3-{\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2\left(\mathrm{SH}\right)$.

Part (d) Step 1: Given Information

We are given the compound structure and we have to find out the IUPAC name of the compound.

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

The compound contains C carbon, H hydrogen, Cl chlorine, and O oxygen with one ring and two branching of chlorine and alcohol, so the structure is
