Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The condensed structures and IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) names for all of the possible ethers with the general formula
Concept Information:
Ethers are the organic compounds with carbon atoms attached to the both sides of the oxygen atom, or we can say oxygen atom is surrounded by two aryl or alkyl groups. It is represented by
Ethers can either be classified as symmetrical or unsymmetrical ethers. If the two alkyl groups bound to the oxygen atom are same then it is said to be symmetrical ether. If the two alkyl groups bound to the oxygen atom are different then it is said to be symmetrical ether.
The
General rules for IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds
•Recognize the
•Find the longest continuous carbon chain that contains the functional group and count the number of carbon atoms in this chain to determine the prefix of the compound name like, Meth- for single carbon, eth- for 2 carbon chain, prop- for 3 carbon chain, etc.
•Number the carbons in the longest carbon chain by stating with the carbon at the end closest to the functional group.
•Look for any branched groups, name them and assign the number of the carbon atom to which the group is attached like 2,4-.

- Which statement about organic compounds is false? In organic compounds, carbon typically forms exactly 5 bonds. Organic compounds are primarily composed of carbon atoms. Organic compounds are usually non-polar. Organic compounds are usually insoluble in water. Organic compounds usually have low melting points.arrow_forwardGiven the molecular formula C5H120, give the names of a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol with this formula. In addition, draw the skeletal structure for an ether.arrow_forwardAlkenes and alkynes react similarly to each other. Hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydration reactions are all types of addition reactions in which the reagent adds across the multiple bond of the reactant • Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum, palladium, or nickel. • Halogenation involves a reaction with a halogen such as Cl₂ or Br₂ to produce a dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene product. Hydration reactions take place when alkenes or alkynes react with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to yield an alcohol. ▼ Part A Predict the product of the reaction of 1-butene with bromine. Enter the IUPAC name. ▸ View Available Hint(s) Submit ▾ Part B An alkyne undergoes hydrogenation to produce an alkane as follows: 04 RC=CR + 2H₂ Q Pd catalyst alkane Predict the product and draw it.
