Q20 E-a
Question
Give IUPAC names for the following alkanes, and convert each drawing
into a skeletal structure.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
(a) The IUPAC name of the structure is 3,3,5-Trimethylheptane.
1Step 1: IUPAC name of alkanes
The parent hydrocarbon is identified in the beginning in the IUPAC nomenclature. The longest hydrocarbon chain is considered as the parent name.
2Step 2: IUPAC name and skeletal structure of compound a
(a)The longest chain of the given compound has six carbon atoms and is called heptane. The third carbon atom has two methyl groups and the fifth carbon atom has one methyl group. Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is 3,3,5-Trimethylheptane.The skeletal structure can be given as:
