Question 1. The IUPAC name of the following compound is?
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?
  1.    5, 5-(1,1-Dimethylpropyl)-2-methyldecane
  2.    5, 5-Bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-2-methyldecane

  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5, 5-Bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-2-methyldecane
:
B
Decide the parent chain and give the numbering so that more substituted substituent will get the least number.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?
parent chain
10 carbons word root dec
single bond suffix ane
substituents at C5andC2
Now,
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?
There is one more same substituent on C5
Therefore,
5,5-Bis-(1,1-dimethyl propyl)
Bis Because two same substituents are there, and a methyl group at C2 2-methyl
Therefore,
5,5-Bis-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-2-methyldecane
Question 2. IUPAC name of the following compound is CH3CH=CHCH?
  1.    5-Pentyn-3-ene
  2.    3-Penten-1-yne
  3.    1-Pentyn-3-ene
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3-Penten-1-yne
:
B
1CH352CH4=3CH34C25CH1
From lowest sum rule, we will select 1,3 and not 2,4
Five carbons word root = pent
3-Penten-1-yne
Question 3. What is the correct IUPAC name of the compound?
CH2=CHCH2C CH?
  1.    1,4-Pentenyne
  2.    Pent-1-en-4-yne
  3.    Pent-1-yn-4-ene
  4.    1, 4-Pentynene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Pent-1-en-4-yne
:
B
While naming, the double bond gets a lower number than the triple bond.
C1H2=C2HC3H2C4C5H
Wort root = pent
Pent-1-en-4-yne
Not 4-Penten-1-yne
Because, if there is a choice in numbering, the double bond is always given preferenceover the triplebond.
Question 4. The IUPAC name of the following compound is
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is
  1.    1-Methyl-2-ethylcyclohexane
  2.    1-Ethyl-6-Methylcyclohexane

  4.    1-Methyl-6-ethylcyclohexane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1-Ethyl-2-Methylcyclohexane
:
C
The numbering is according to the lowest of locants, which gives us two options.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is
In this case, numbering happens according to alphabetical order. So ethyl group will have thelower number.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is
word root = hex
primary prefix = cyclo
secondary prefix = 1-Ethyl-2-methyl
primary suffix = ane
IUPAC name is
(c)1-Ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane
Question 5. The IUPAC name of the following compound is?
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?
  1.    2-Methyl-3,2-methylethylpentane
  2.    3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane
  3.    3,2-Methylethyl-2-methylpentane
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane
:
B
Decide parent chain.
Numbering so that more substitutedsubstituent will get the lowest number.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?
Five carbons word root = pent
single bonds = ane(suffix)
substituent at C2andC3
3-ethyl-2, 3-dimethylpentane(alphabetically)
Therefore,
(b)3-Ethyl-2,3-dimethylpentane
Question 6. The systematic IUPAC name of the compound is?
The Systematic IUPAC Name Of The Compound Is?
  1.    neoheptyl chloride
  2.    3-Chloro-2,2-diethylpropane
  3.    3-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylpentane
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylpentane
:
C
The Systematic IUPAC Name Of The Compound Is?
Word root = pent
Primary suffix = ane
Lowest locant set = 3,3
Secondary prefixes = 3-(chloromethyl)-3-methyl
IUPAC name is 3-(chloromethyl)-3-methylpentane
Question 7. The systematic (IUPAC) name of tertiary butyl chloride is:
  1.    t-Butyl-chloride
  2.    tert-Butyl-chloride
  3.    1-Chloro-3-methylpropane
  4.    2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
:
D
The given compound tertiary butyl chloride is
The Systematic (IUPAC) Name Of Tertiary Butyl Chloride Is:
It is numbered as shown.
The longest chain clearly includes 3 carbon atoms
root word = prop
primary suffix = ane
Secondary prefix = 2-chloro-2-methyl
Hence the name (systematic IUPAC) of given compound is:
(d)2-Chloro-2-methylpropane
Question 8. The IUPAC name of
The IUPAC Name Of
  1.    6-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene
  2.    3-Ethyl-6,6-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene
  3.    Both a and b are accepted
  4.    Neither a nor b
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 6-Ethyl-3,3-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene
:
A
In this compound, the parent chain is the one containing cycliccarbon.
Now, we number in the following way.
The IUPAC Name Of
Because more substituted will get the lower number.
ethyl group at C5
Two methyl group at C3
Therefore, it will be
6-Ethyl-3-3-Dimethylcyclohex-1-ene
not
3,3-Dimethyl-6-ethylcyclohex-1-ene
Because we use alphabetical order and Di- is not considered for the alphabetical order.
Question 9. The IUPAC name of
The IUPAC Name Of
  1.    3-(Formylmethyl)hexanal
  2.    2-(Formylmethyl)butane-1,4-dicarbaldehyde
  3.    2-(Formylmethyl)butane-1,4-tricarbaldehyde
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3-(Formylmethyl)hexanal
:
A
The given compound is:
The IUPAC Name Of
Here we include as many -CHO groups as possible in the longest chain.Thus it is numbered as above (to give lowest possible number to the substituents -CH2CHO).This group is namedformylmethyl.
6 carbons = hex.
Since there are no carbon - carbon multiple bonds, primary suffix = ane; secondary suffix = dial.
Hence the IUPAC name is
(a) 3 -(Formylmethyl)hexanal
Note the parentheses indicating substituted substituent.
The compound could also be named 3-propylpentanedial
Question 10. The IUPAC name of this compound is?
The IUPAC Name Of This Compound Is?
  1.    3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
  2.    1,1-Diethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane
  3.    4,4-Dimethyl-5,5-diethylpentane
  4.    5,5-Diethyl-4,4-dimethylpentane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
:
A
First, check the parent chain.
Now, give numbers such that the more substituted substituent will get the lowest number.
The IUPAC Name Of This Compound Is?
Parent chain
7 carbon hept (word root)
Single bonds ane (suffix
substituent at C3andC4 3-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl(alphabetically)
Therefore, 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
