Step-by-step solution
4 stepsHere are the IUPAC names for the given organic compounds:
a) CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₂CH₃
Identify the longest continuous carbon chain.
The longest chain has 5 carbons (pentane).
CH₃-CH(CH₃)-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃Number the chain to give the substituent the lowest possible number.
Numbering from the left: The methyl group is at carbon 2.
Numbering from the right: The methyl group would be at carbon 4.
So, we number from the left.Identify and name the substituents.
There is one methyl group (-CH₃) at position 2.
