a. d.

b. e.

c. f.

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The IUPAC name for each compound is to be stated.

Concept introduction: International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry gave guidelines to write the chemical name of molecules. One should follow the given three steps to derive the structure of the compound from its IUPAC name. The first step involves the identification of the parent name and the functional group found at the end of the name. The second step is numbering of carbon skeleton in either direction. The third step is the addition of substituents at appropriate carbon atoms.

Answer to Problem 19.29P

The name of the compound is $4,4,5,5\text{-}$tetramethyloctanoic acid.

Explanation of Solution

The structure of the given compound is shown below.

Figure 1

The above compound has a chain of eight carbon atoms. The carboxylic acid is present as a functional group in the compound. Two methyl groups are present at the fourth carbon atom and two methyl groups are present at the fifth carbon atom. Therefore, the name of the compound is $4,4,5,5\text{-}$tetramethyloctanoic acid.

Conclusion

The name of the compound is $4,4,5,5\text{-}$tetramethyloctanoic acid.
