Chapter 23.2, Problem 4RC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product of the folowig reaction should be determined .

Concept introduction: The structure of the alkanes can be drawn with the help of their systematic name.

(1) The parent name give the information about the longest chain of the carbon atoms for alkane.

(2) The prefix written in the systematic name tells about the side chains and their positions.

(3) Numbering should be given according to side chain, so that carbon atom having side chain get a least numbering.

(4) If molecule has more than one side chain which are different then name should be written alphabetically.
