Chapter 3: Q13P (page 78)
Name the eight 5-carbon alkyl groups you drew in Problem 3-7.
Short Answer
Step by step solution
Alkyl groups
Alkyl groups are created by taking out one hydrogen atom form the alkane chain. The symbol R is used to indicate an alkyl group in structural formula.
Naming the eight 5-carbon alkyl groups in Problem 3-7
The names of the eight carbon alkyl groups in Problem 3-7 can be given as:
Names of the eight carbon alkyl groups
The pentyl isomer has all five carbon atoms in a straight chain.
In the compound 1-Methylbutyl four carbons are present in the straight chain and a methyl group is the substituent.
In the compound, 1-Ethylpropyl, three carbons are in straight chain. The first carbon has ethyl groups as the substituent.
In the compound 2-Methylbutyl, four carbon atoms are there in the main chain.The second carbon atom is substituted with a methyl group.
In the compound 3-Methylbutyl, four carbon atoms are there in the main chain. The third carbon is substituted by a methyl group.
In the compound, 1,1-Dimethylpropyl, three carbon atoms form the main chain. The first carbon atom comprises two methyl groups.
In the compound, 1,2-Dimethylpropyl, the three carbon atoms form the main chain. The first and second carbon atoms are substituted with a methyl group.
In the compound 2,2-Dimethylpropyl, the three carbon atoms form the main chain. The second carbon atom comprises two methyl groups as the substituent.
