Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Here are the solutions to the organic chemistry problems:

1) Name the following organic compound:

H3C−CH(CH3)−CH(Br)−CH2−CH2−CH3\text{H}_{3}\text{C}-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_{3})-\text{CH}(\text{Br})-\text{CH}_{2}-\text{CH}_{2}-\text{CH}_{3}

  1. Identify the longest continuous carbon chain.

    The longest chain is 6 carbons long. This makes the parent alkane hexane.

  2. Number the carbon chain to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers.

    If numbered from left to right:

    • A methyl (CH3\text{CH}_{3}) group is at carbon 2.
    • A bromo (Br\text{Br}) group is at carbon 3.
