Step-by-step solution
6 stepsIdentify the longest carbon chain containing the functional groups and substituents.
The longest continuous carbon chain is 5 carbons long (pentane).
Number the carbon chain to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers.
If numbered from left to right:
Carbon 2 has a bromine ().
Carbon 3 has a methyl ().
The locants are 2, 3.If numbered from right to left:
Carbon 3 has a methyl ().
Carbon 4 has a bromine ().
The locants are 3, 4.
The lowest set of locants is 2, 3. So, we number from left to right.Name the substituents and arrange them alphabetically.
At carbon 2: Bromo ()
At carbon 3: Methyl ()
Alphabetical order: Bromo before Methyl.Combine the name.
The full name is 2-bromo-3-methylpentane.
The name of the compound is:
