Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula has to be derived from given IUPAC name 5-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctane.

Concept introduction:

IUPAC Nomenclature:

  • The longest continuous chain of carbon atoms is identified.
  • The substituent groups attached to the parent chain is identified. A substituent group contains group of atoms attached to the carbon atom of the chain.
  • While numbering the longest chain, the substituent should get least possible number.
  • Write the name of the compound; the parent name written as last part of the name. The name of the substituents is written as prefix and a hyphen separates the number that the substituents attached with carbon. More than one substituent should be written in alphabetical order.
