Answer

2-bromo-3-methylpentane\text{2-bromo-3-methylpentane}

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the functional groups and substituents.

    The longest continuous carbon chain is 5 carbons long (pentane).

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

    If numbered from left to right:
    Carbon 2 has a bromine (Br\text{Br}).
    Carbon 3 has a methyl (CH3\text{CH}_{3}).
    The locants are 2, 3.

    If numbered from right to left:
    Carbon 3 has a methyl (CH3\text{CH}_{3}).
    Carbon 4 has a bromine (Br\text{Br}).
    The locants are 3, 4.
    The lowest set of locants is 2, 3. So, we number from left to right.

  3. Name the substituents and arrange them alphabetically.

    At carbon 2: Bromo (Br\text{Br})
    At carbon 3: Methyl (CH3\text{CH}_{3})
    Alphabetical order: Bromo before Methyl.

  4. Combine the name.

    The full name is 2-bromo-3-methylpentane.

    The name of the compound is:

    2-bromo-3-methylpentane\boxed{\text{2-bromo-3-methylpentane}}

    2) Write the structure of HO−CH2−C≡C−CH2−C≡CH\text{HO}-\text{CH}_{2}-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{CH}_{2}-\text{C}\equiv\text{CH}.

  5. Identify the functional groups and carbon chain.

    The compound has an alcohol (OH\text{OH}) group, two alkyne (C≡C\text{C}\equiv\text{C}) groups, and a 6-carbon chain.

  6. Draw the skeletal structure.
