(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name for the following alkane should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Naming Alkanes

•Name an alkane by determining the number of carbons in the longest continuous chain.

•Assign a name from the compounds in the alkane series (e.g., butane, pentane, and hexane).

•Add the names of substituents attached to the longest chain, writing the name as a single word.

•Number the carbon at which the substituent is attached. Separate the number from the name by a hyphen. Each substituent must have a number.

•The substituents are usually given in alphabetical order, but assigned the number of the carbon to which the substituent is attached.

•Begin numbering at the end of 1°, the chain closest to the first substituent.

•Because they have some similar properties, it is sometimes convenient to refer to some organic compounds as 1° (primary), 2° (secondary), 3° (tertiary), and 4° (quaternary). A primary alcohol contains an alcohol functional group attached to a carbon that is, in turn, attached to no other carbons. A secondary alcohol contains a hydroxyl group attached to a carbon that is, in turn, attached to only two other carbons.
