Answer:
1–ethoxybutane
Step-by-step explanation:
In naming the above compound, the following must be observed:
1. The longest chain gives the root name of the compound.
2. The shorter chain is named as substituent together with the oxygen group as alkoxy.
3. Locate the position of the alkoxy group by giving it the lowest low count.
4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.
Now we shall name the compound as follow:
1. The longest chain is carbon 4 i.e butane.
2. The shortest chain is ethyl (i.e –CH₂CH₃). This is named together with the oxygen atom as ethoxy.
3. The ethoxy group is located at carbon 1 of the butane chain since it is the functional group of the chain.
4. The name of the compound is:
1–ethoxybutane.
