Interpretation: To give the constitutional isomers of cyclopentane.
Concept Introduction: Isomers are compound that has the same molecular formula but differ in structures of the compound.
Answer to Problem 8STP
The four constitutional isomers of cyclopentane are Methylcyclobutane, Ethylcyclopropane, 1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane, and 1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane.
Explanation of Solution
In constitutional isomers, the compound has the same molecular formula but the arrangement of atoms is different.
Cyclopentane is a cycloalkane comprised of five carbon atoms with a molecular formula
The structure of 1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane is represented as follows:
The structure of Ethylcyclopropane is represented as follows:
The structure of methylcyclobutane is represented as follows:
The structure of 1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane is represented as follows:
Thus, the four constitutional isomers of cyclopentane are Methylcyclobutane, Ethylcyclopropane , 1,1-Dimethylcyclopropane, and 1,2-Dimethylcyclopropane.
