The carbons should be numbered in parent chain in below figure. Concept introduction: Systematic way to name different organic compounds is IUPAC nomenclature . It has three parts: root name, suffix, and prefix. Rules for nomenclature of alkanes : 1 The longest continuous carbon chain is identified first and named in accordance with number of carbon atoms present in it. For example, hydrocarbon with one carbon atom has prefix “meth”, that with two carbon atoms has prefix “eth”, that with three carbon atoms has prefix “prop” and so on. Suffix used for alkanes is “ane.” 2. Substituents attached to parent carbon chain are to be identified. These are named by removal of single hydrogen atom from carbon chain end and named by replacement of suffix “ane” by “yl.” For example if CH 3 is used as substituent, it is named as methyl. 3. Carbons of parent chain are named in such way that substituents acquire the lowest numbers. 4. If same substituent is present more than one time in molecule, it is represented by prefix “di”, “tri” and so on. It depends on number of times substituent occurs in molecule. 5. If two or more substituents are present in molecule, these are named in alphabetical order. 6. If carbon chains of same length exist in same molecule, chain with the largest number of side chains, followed by lowest number to substituents, chain with the greatest number of carbon atoms in smaller chain and chain with the least branched side chains are preferred over other ones. 7. Prefix “cyclo” is used if cyclic alkane is present in molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The carbons should be numbered in parent chain in below figure.

Concept introduction: Systematic way to name different organic compounds is IUPAC nomenclature. It has three parts: root name, suffix, and prefix.

Rules for nomenclature of alkanes:

1 The longest continuous carbon chain is identified first and named in accordance with number of carbon atoms present in it. For example, hydrocarbon with one carbon atom has prefix “meth”, that with two carbon atoms has prefix “eth”, that with three carbon atoms has prefix “prop” and so on. Suffix used for alkanes is “ane.”

2. Substituents attached to parent carbon chain are to be identified. These are named by removal of single hydrogen atom from carbon chain end and named by replacement of suffix “ane” by “yl.” For example if CH3 is used as substituent, it is named as methyl.

3. Carbons of parent chain are named in such way that substituents acquire the lowest numbers.

4. If same substituent is present more than one time in molecule, it is represented by prefix “di”, “tri” and so on. It depends on number of times substituent occurs in molecule.

5. If two or more substituents are present in molecule, these are named in alphabetical order.

6. If carbon chains of same length exist in same molecule, chain with the largest number of side chains, followed by lowest number to substituents, chain with the greatest number of carbon atoms in smaller chain and chain with the least branched side chains are preferred over other ones.

7. Prefix “cyclo” is used if cyclic alkane is present in molecule.

1. Draw the most and least stable Newman projections for the following molecules (focus on C2 and C3). a. 2-chloro-2-fluoropentane b. 2,2-dimethylbutane c. 2-chloro-2-methylpentane d. 1,2-dibromoethane

Build a model of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane. Orient the model so that you are looking at the carbon with the arrow pointing to it in Figure 3. Align the bond to the next carbon in the chain so that it is directly behind the first carbon to match a Newman projection view. (See Figure MM.3 in the lab manual) Spin the carbons on either side of the bond you're looking down to cycle through all three staggered and all three eclipsed positions of the substituents. Draw all six positions as Newman projections on the data sheet and identify the position with the highest energy. Draw the six Newman projections of all of the different energy levels. Label each as staggered or eclipsed and rank in order from lowest energy to highest.

a. Draw the Newman projection for each molecule shown here, looking down the c-c bond indicated by the arrow. b. Which configuration do you think is more stable? Explain.
