(a)
Interpretation:
The number of alkyl groups present in 3,4-dimethylhexane, 3-ethyl-3-methylpentane, 3,5-diethyloctane and 4-propylnonane has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
To name an
To draw an alkane from the given IUPAC name, the parent alkane is drawn first followed by substitution of the substituents in the respective carbon atoms.
The groups that are attached to the parent carbon chain are known as substituents.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of substituents present in 3,4-dimethylhexane, 3-ethyl-3-methylpentane, 3,5-diethyloctane and 4-propylnonane has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
To name an alkane, the first step is to find the longest carbon chain. The next step is to identify the substituents that are present in the longest carbon chain. The numbering has to be given in a way that the substituents get the least numbering.
To draw an alkane from the given IUPAC name, the parent alkane is drawn first followed by substitution of the substituents in the respective carbon atoms.
The groups that are attached to the parent carbon chain are known as substituents.

- For the first part, draw a Fischer projection formula for the enantiomer of each of the following monosaccharides. For the second part, identify whether the images are in D- or L-configuration. Write your answers first on a piece of bond paper.arrow_forwardIn the monosaccharide derivatives known as sugar alcohols, the carbonyl oxygen is reduced to a hydroxyl group. For example, D-glyceraldehyde can be reduced to glycerol. However, this sugar alcohol is no longer designated D or L. Why?arrow_forwardD- and L- designations are used to distinguish between the two possible enantiomers of the monosaccharide, galactose. From the Fischer projection, determine the designation of this monosaccharide.arrow_forward
- Isobutylene, CH2=C(CH3)2, is used to prepare cold-flow rubber. Draw a structure for the addition polymer formed from this alkene.arrow_forwardFollowing are Fischer projections for a group of five-carbon sugars, all of which are aldopentoses. Identify the pairs that are enantiomers and the pairs that are epimers. (The sugars shown here are not all of the possible five-carbon )arrow_forwardSalicylic acid (o-hydroxybenzoic acid) is used as starting material to prepare aspirin. Draw the structure of salicylic acid.arrow_forward
