Show hintHide hint
Count the carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain.
Question 2.
How would you name a compound with three carbons and a -OH group?
Show hintHide hint
Think of the root name for three carbons and the suffix for alcohol.
3Question 3.
What is the first step in IUPAC naming?
- Identify functional groups
- Identify the longest carbon chain
- Number the carbon chain
Show hintHide hint
Think about which aspect gives the backbone of the compound.
4Question 4.
True or False: When numbering the carbon chain, you should always start from the end closest to the functional group.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the principles of prioritizing functional groups.
Question 5.
Given a compound with an -OH group at the second carbon, a -CH3 at the first carbon, and a total of 4 carbons, derive its IUPAC name.
Show hintHide hint
Think about where to place the locants and how to construct the final name.
Question 6.
How would you name a compound with a triple bond between carbons 1 and 2 and a -Br as a substituent at carbon 3 within a six-carbon chain?
Show hintHide hint
Pay attention to both the position of the triple bond and the substituent to find the answer.
