Q: What is the IUPAC name for the compound CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-OH?
Solution:
The longest carbon chain has four carbons, and the hydroxyl group is on the second carbon, making it 2-Butanol.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the carbon chain in the compound CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-OH.
Step 2: Count the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. There are four carbon atoms.
Step 3: Determine the position of the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the carbon chain. It is on the second carbon.
Step 4: Name the longest carbon chain. A four-carbon chain is called 'butane'.
Step 5: Since the hydroxyl group is on the second carbon, we add '2-' before 'butanol' to indicate its position.
Step 6: Combine the information to get the IUPAC name: 2-Butanol.
