Chapter 12, Problem 12.6E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula for the given compound is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The systematic naming of organic compound is given by IUPAC nomenclature. The naming of organic compound is done such that the structure of organic compound is correctly interpreted from the name.

Rules for writing IUPAC name from structural formula are:

• First identify the longest carbon chain.

• The next step is to identify the groups attached to the longest chain.

• Identify the position, location, and number of the substituents bonded to the carbon chain.

• Use prefix di, tri, tetra if same type of substituents are present.

• Name the substituents in alphabetical order.

Answer to Problem 12.6E

The structural formula for the given compound is shown below.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is $\text{3-ethyl-2-hexene}$. The parent chain is hexene, that is, it consists of six carbon atoms and a double bond between the second and the third carbon atoms. An ethyl group is present as a substituent on the third carbon atom. Therefore, the structure of $\text{3-ethyl-2-hexene}$ is given below.
