Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
The ether which is structural isomer of 1-butanol needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The functional group is the group present on the main carbon chain of an organic compound. It determines the chemical properties and the type of reactions an organic compound can show. Structural isomers have same number of atoms of element in the compounds but the position of groups is different.
a.
Explanation of Solution
The given alcohol is 1-butanol. The structure is represented as follows:
The ether group is formed by moving the oxygen atom as follows:
Thus, the name of the ether will be methoxyethane.
b.
Interpretation:
The ether which is structural isomer of 2-hexanol needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The functional group is the group present on the main carbon chain of an organic compound. It determines the chemical properties and the type of reactions an organic compound can show. Structural isomers have same number of atoms of element in the compounds but the position of groups is different.
b.
Explanation of Solution
The given alcohol is 2-hexanol. The structure is represented as follows:
The ether group is formed by moving the oxygen atom as follows:
Thus, the name of the ether will be 1-methoxybutane.
