Study Notes
IUPAC Naming of Alkanes
- The correct IUPAC name for CH$_3$-CH(CH$_3$)-CH$_2$-CH$_3$ is 2-methylbutane.
- In naming CH$_3$-C(CH$_3$)$_2$-CH$_2$-CH$_3$, the emphasis must be placed on the prefix of the substituent, highlighting the branched structure.
Structural Identification
- The structure corresponding to the name 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane contains five carbon atoms arranged in a pentane chain with an ethyl group at the third carbon and a methyl group at the second carbon.
Carbon Count in Compounds
- In 2,2-dimethylpropane, there are a total of five carbon atoms present, with a propane base and two additional methyl groups attached to the second carbon.
Naming Errors
- The name not correctly assigned to CH$_3$-CH(CH$_2$-CH$_3$)-C(CH$_3$)$_2$ is likely a misrepresentation of its actual structure, indicating an error in the substituent's placement or identification.
