Question

Please don't provide handwritten solution 

 

**Question:**

Give the IUPAC name for the following compound:

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a structure with a carbon ring consisting of eight carbon atoms, known as a cyclooctane. Attached to the cyclooctane ring are two substituents:

1. A propyl group connected to one of the carbon atoms in the ring.
2. An isopropyl group (a branched structure with three carbon atoms) connected to a different carbon atom in the ring.

To name this compound according to IUPAC rules, identify the longest carbon chain and the substituents attached to it. Number the carbons in the ring to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers. Then, list the substituents in alphabetical order along with their positions on the main ring.

**Note:**

Make sure to use proper IUPAC naming conventions to arrive at the correct name of the compound.

Step 1: IUPAC name

The given compound is a hydrocarbon, cycloalkane. The IUPAC name of a cycloalkane can be written on the basis of the number of carbon atoms in the ring, and substituents.

The root name of the organic molecule is written on the basis of the number of carbon atoms in the main carbon atom chain, the prefix is used on the basis of the substituents, and the suffix is used on the basis of the functional group.
