Question

Organic Chemistry

Can someone help me place the correct ones in the correct nomenclature?

Answer 1

The last figure (with the name 3-Chloro-2-iodo-4-methylhexane) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

---> It gives the correct numbering of the positions of each Iodine Chlorine and Methyl which are attached at 2, 3 and 4 respectively

---> and also the names are given on alphabetical order (i.e. first Chlorine then Iodine and then Methyl)

Answer 2

The names have been correctly sorted as follows;

Molecule 1 - 3-chloro-4-iodo-2-methyl hexane

Molecule 2 - 4-chloro-3-iodo-2-methyl hexane

Molecule 4 - 3-chloro-2-iodo-4-methyl hexane

The IUPAC naming system for organic compounds

To name organic compounds, identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, the "parent chain". Look up the root name of this chain based on its length, and identify each substituent and its position on the chain with a number.

Combine the root name, substituent prefixes with their positions, and functional group suffixes to form the complete name. Lastly, use commas and hyphens to separate and connect different parts of the name.
