Write the name of the compound having the following formula:CH_3-overs

1.	Write the name of the compound having the following formula:CH_3-oversert(CH_3) overset(\|) CH-CH_3 underset(1)CH_3 - underset(2)overset(CH_3)overset(\|)(CH) - underset(3)(C )H_3
Answer» Solution :IUPAC parts of the complete name of the structural formula: Root word, Primary SUFFIX, SECONDARY suffix, Prefix.(i) (a) There are 3 C ATOMS in the CONTINUOUS chain. Therefore, root word = prop. (b) Only C-C covalent bonds are present in the chain. Therefore, primary suffix is ane. (c) There is no functional group with the parent chain. Therefore, secondary suffix is not involved. (d) There is a SUBSTITUENT of methyl radical `(-CH_3)`on carbon 2. Therefore, prefix is 2-methyl. Thus the IUPAC name of the given compound is derived as: Prefix + Root word + Primary suffix 2-Methyl + prop + ane = 2-Methylpropane
