Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are hydrocarbon that has only single bond.
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)

- 2-butanol can be formed as the only product of the Markovnikov addition of H2O to two different alkenes. In contrast, 2-nonanol can be formed as the only product of the Markovnikov addition of H2O to just one alkene. To examine the difference, draw the alkene starting materials of each alcohol. Part 1 of 2 Draw the bond-line (skeletal) structures of the two alkene starting materials that can be used to synthesize 2-butanol via Markovnikov hydration. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. 0* Part 2 of 2 Draw the bond-line (skeletal) structure of the alkene starting material that can be used to synthesize 2-nonanol selectively via Markovnikov hydration.
