Chapter 12, Problem 17P

12-27 Explain why each name is incorrect and then write a correct name.

1. 2-Ethyl-l-propene
2. 5-lsopropylcyclohexene
3. 4-Methyl-4-hexene
4. 2-sec-Butyl-l-butene
5. 6,6-Dimethylcyclohexene
6. 2-Ethyl-2-hexene

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To identify the error in name of the given compound and write the correct IUPAC names.

Concept Introduction:

The rules to write the IUPAC names are as follows-

• The longest carbon chain is identified, and the root name is given accordingly.
• All the substituents attached to the root chain are determined.
• The position of the substituents is so assigned that the sum of their positions comes to be the least of all possible positions.
• The prefix di, tri, tetra is used if the same substituent is present two, three and four times respectively.
• All the substituents in the name are written in alphabetical order.
• For a cyclic hydrocarbon the prefix cyclo- is used.
