Chapter 4, Problem 63PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Possible constitutional isomers have to be determined for the given propene molecule and needed to be given the systematic name for the isomer.

Concept introduction:

• Constitutional isomers are isomers, which are having the same molecular formula and different bond connectivity between the atoms.
• IUPAC nomenclature: systematic has given for the organic compound by following certain rules, which are assigned by IUPAC (International Union and Pure Applied Chemistry).

$\text{IUPAC}\text{name}\text{=}\text{prefix+}\text{word}\text{root}\text{+suffix}$

• Word root: word root of the name indicates the parent carbon chain (longest carbon chain) present in the molecule.
• Prefix: prefix part in IUPAC name indicates the substituents present on the parent carbon chain.
• Suffix: suffix indicates that any function group present in the molecule.

To draw: the constitutional isomer for the molecule propene.
