Interpretation:
The systematic names of the given
Concept Introduction:
In order to give the IUPAC name to the branched-chain alkane following steps are followed:
1. The parent (longest) continuous carbon chain is identified.
2. The ending of the parent chain for alkane (-e) is -ane.
3. Name should be written in alphabetical order and numbering should be done in such a way that the substituent group gets lowest number.
4. Hyphen is used to connect the number to the name.
For number of carbons atoms in alkane chain, the prefix is given as:
Carbon-1 meth
Carbon-2 eth
Carbon-3 prop
Carbon-4 but
Carbon-5 pent
Carbon-6 hex
Carbon-7 hept
Carbon-8 oct
Carbon-9 non
Carbon-10 dec.
Interpretation:
The systematic names of the given alkane should be determined.
