anyone good at organic chemistry?


From among the constitutional isomers of C6H12, give the IUPAC name for:

a) a derivative of cyclopentane.


b) a derivative of cyclobutane containing only one branch.

I'm doing that same homework...

I'm struggling too.

Especially with naming the compounds. I don't know whether I'm using the correct notation.

For #2 b. (b/c I already screwed up a.) how would you write the IUPAC name? especially in webassign.
I thought it was 4-Ethly-5,5-dimethyl-3-methylnonane

I thought I was following all the rules correctly. I have to be using the wrong notation.

for #2. C. i thought it was 4-ethyl-5-methylhexane but its wrong.

did she say something about not being able to use - in webassign?

3,5,5-trimethyl-4-ethylnonane

thats my guess

4-ethyl-3,5,5-trimethylnonane (you have to put ethyl before methyl because e comes before m in the alphabet)

9/14/2006 11:12:16 PM

anybody know what the hell #3 is about?

9/15/2006 1:10:18 AM

you really have to post the question for help, cause it's been 2 years since organic 1

9/15/2006 11:17:39 AM

I was thinking 3-bromo-3-methyl-2-cyclohexyl-2-butanol. or am I going about it the wrong way...
