Q: What is the IUPAC name for the compound CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3?
Solution:
The correct IUPAC name for CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 is ethoxyethane.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the structure of the compound CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3. It consists of two ethyl groups (CH2-CH3) connected by an oxygen atom (O).
Step 2: Recognize that the compound is an ether because it has an oxygen atom connecting two alkyl groups.
Step 3: Name the two ethyl groups. Each ethyl group is represented as 'ethyl' (C2H5).
Step 4: Combine the names of the two ethyl groups with 'oxy' to indicate the presence of the oxygen atom. This gives 'ethoxy'.
Step 5: Since there are two ethyl groups, the full name becomes 'ethoxyethane'.
Step 6: Confirm that 'ethoxyethane' is the correct IUPAC name for the compound.
