Concept introduction:
The compounds that have the same molecular formula for atoms but different structures of compoundsdepending on the position of atoms are called isomers.
In chemical nomenclature, the
The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.
The parent chain is numbered from that end that is closest to the substituent.
If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on which the substituent occurs is given.
If there are two or more different substituents they are listed in alphabetical order using the base name
The name of the
For naming the cyclic organic compounds, the word “cyclo” is used as prefix.
For
In double bond or cyclic compounds, if two same
If the two functional groups are present on the different sides of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as Trans.
Cis-trans isomerism exists in the compounds in which similar groups are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.

- Draw structural formulas for possible isomers with the formula C3H6ClBr, and name each isomer.arrow_forwardGive the structures and IUPAC names of all constitutional isomers of C6H14. What is the structure of 3-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctane? What is the structure of 3-ethyl-3-methylpentane?arrow_forwardNone of the following names follow IUPAC rules (formulas are provided to reduce ambiguity): 2-oxo-4-pentanol (C5H1002) 5-propyl-4-chloro-2-hexanone (C,H17CIO) N-propylethenamine (C5H11N) Choose one of these names, explain what is wrong with it, and write the correct IUPAC name of the compound.arrow_forward
- There are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.arrow_forwardDraw all possible structure(s) and give the IUPAC systematic name(s) of an alkane or cycloalkane with the formula C8H18 that has only primary hydrogen atoms. Draw the structure(s).arrow_forwardHow many isomers, both structural and geometric, have the molecular formula C5H12?arrow_forward
- Name this compound: H₂C-CH₂-C=CH₂ CH₂ Name an isomer of this compound that has the following structure:arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of a compound with the formula C7H14O that has an ether and cyclobutane ring, including its IUPAC name? In addition, what is the structure of the compound with the formula C7H14O that does NOT contain the functional groups: epoxide, ether, cycloalkane, alcohol, alkene. Indicate the functional groups used that are present in the structure made for this compound.arrow_forwardName and draw structural formulas for all alkenes with the molecular formula C5H10. As you draw these alkenes, remember that cis and trans isomers are different compounds and must be counted separatelyarrow_forward
- By hand, draw all of the isomers with the molecular formula C4H9F using skeletal structures. Name each structure using IUPAC nomenclature rules.arrow_forwardIn organic chemistry, is it only when naming cycloalkanes that you do not put a hyphen between the substituent and the parent ring?arrow_forwardQuestion 24 of 28 Fill in the blanks: Write the letter of the pair of compounds that illustrates the given isomerism.
