Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason why the use of such names as “isopropanol” and “tert-butanol” are being wrong is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
There are two classes of nomenclature. These are functional class and substitutive class.
Functional class nomenclature is the common system of nomenclature.
Substitutive class nomenclature is the IUPAC system of nomenclature.
Answer to Problem 1PP
Solution: A mixture of functional and substitutive class.
Explanation of Solution
The given names consist of two systems of nomenclature. These are functional class and substitutive systems. However, if functional class is considered, then the names are isopropyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol. On the other hand, if substitutive class is considered, then the compounds have the names as 2-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol. The names “isopropanol” and “tert-butanol” does not belong to any of these class. Hence, the use of such names is wrong.
