Here are the IUPAC names for the given organic compounds:

a) CH3−CH2−C(=O)−CH(CH3)−CH3\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}(=\text{O})-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}_3

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the ketone functional group.

    This chain has 5 carbons (pentane).

  2. Number the chain to give the ketone carbon the lowest possible number.

    The ketone is at carbon 3 from either end.

  3. Number the chain to give the substituent the lowest possible number.

    Numbering from the right gives the methyl group at carbon 2.

  4. Identify substituents.
