Chapter 21.2, Problem 11PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of 1-ethyl-3-propylcyclopentane needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

When the carbon atoms of hydrocarbons are arranged in such a way that it results in the formation of ring then it is said to be cycloalkanes.

Answer to Problem 11PP

Explanation of Solution

The given name is 1-ethyl-3-propylcyclopentane that means the parent chain contains cyclic ring of 5 carbon atoms and -ethyl represents the presence of ethyl substituent at position 1 and -propyl substituent at position 3. So, the structure of 1-ethyl-3-propylcyclopentane is:

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of 1, 2, 2, 4-tetramethylcyclohexane needs to be drawn.

Answer to Problem 11PP

Explanation of Solution

The given name is 1, 2, 2, 4-tetramethylcyclohexane that means the parent chain contains cyclic ring of 6 carbon atoms and -tetramethyl represents the presence of four methyl substituent at position 1, two methyl at 2 and 4. So, the structure of 1, 2, 2, 4-tetramethylcyclohexane is:
