Chapter 3: An Introduction to Organic Compounds: Nomenclature, Physical Properties, and Structure

a. What is each ether’s systematic name?

c. What are their common names?

Give each of the following a systematic name and indicate whether each is a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol:

Draw the structures of a homologous series of alcohols that have from one to six carbons and give each of them a common name and a systematic name.

Write condensed and skeletal structures for all the tertiary alcohols with molecular formula C₆H₁₄O and give each a systematic name.

Give each of the following a systematic name and indicate whether each is a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol:

Give a systematic name and a common name (if it has one) for each of the following amines and indicate whether each is a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine:

Are the following compounds primary, secondary, or tertiary?

Draw the condensed and skeletal structures for each of the following amines:

a. 2-methyl-N-propyl-1-propanamine d. methyldipropylamine

b. N-ethylethanamine e. N,N-dimethyl-3-pentanamine

c. 5-methyl-1-hexanamine f. cyclohexylethylmethylamine

For each of the following, give the systematic name and the common name (if it has one) and then indicate whether it is a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine.

Predict the approximate size of the following bond angles.

a. the C-O-C bond angle in an ether

b. the C-N-C bond angle in a secondary amine

c. the C-O-H bond angle in an alcohol

d. the C-N-C bond angle in a quaternary ammonium salt
