Chapter 16.12, Problem 14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for $\text{3-methyl-1-butanethiol}$ and $\text{trans-2-butene-1-thiol}$ is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Thiols are the sulfur analogs of alcohols.

When writing the IPUAC name of a thiol, to the name of parent alkane the suffix –thiol is added.

The parent alkane chain is numbered such that the carbon atom attached to the $\text{-SH}$ group gets the lowest number.

Other substituents if present are written in alphabetical order with proper locants.
