The correction for the statement “What is the name of the structure shown below?”
Answer to Problem 3RAT
The correction for the statement “What is the name of the structure shown below?” is option (b)
Explanation of Solution
Long chain selection- select a long carbon chain in which number of carbons is maximum so in this structure, there is eight carbon chain with single bonds, which gets named as octane –
Numbering of substituents -start the numbering from that side where the structure counts maximum number of substituents as shown in the below.
Fig.(1)
As shown in figure there are two methyl group substituents at 3rd and 6th positions so both are collectively named as dimethyl with respect to their positions.
At 4th position one ethyl group substituent is present.
Thus, the name of the hydrocarbon is 3,6-dimethyl-4-ethyloctane.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correction for the statement “What is the name of the structure shown below?” is option (b)
