Question 11. C5H12 has a symmetrical structure with one quaternary carbon. Its IUPAC name is:
  1.    2-Methylbutane
  2.    n-Pentane
  3.    2,2-Dimethylpropane
  4.    1-Methylbutane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2,2-Dimethylpropane
:
C
C5H12 is of the form CnH2n+2.
Hence it is a saturated alkane. Further, it is given that it has a quaternary carbon. Hence its structure is:
C5H12 Has A Symmetrical Structure With One Quaternary Carbon...
Longest chain = 3 carbons ⇒ word root = prop
Primary suffix = ane
Secondary prefix = 2,2-Dimethyl
IUPAC name is (c) 2,2-Dimethyl propane
Question 12.
  1.    1,2-Dicyanocyclohexane
  2.    Cyclohexane-1,2-dinitrile
  3.    Cyclohexane-1,2-dicarbonitrile
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Cyclohexane-1,2-dicarbonitrile
:
C
Here, we know that the priority is functional Group > alkynes > alkenes > alkene
Here the ring is cyclohexane

If we have to give numbering

Therefore, suffix ⇒ carbonitrile
Here ⇒ 1,2-dicarbonitrile
Therefore, Cyclohexane-1,2-dicarbonitrile
Question 13. The IUPAC name of  NC − CH2 − CH|CN−CH2−CN is?
  1.    3-Cyanopentane-1,2-dinitrile
  2.    1 2,3-Tricyanopropane
  3.    Propane-1,2,3-tricarbonitrile
  4.    Propane-1,2,3-trinitrile
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Propane-1,2,3-tricarbonitrile
:
C
Here, word root is prop
single bond ⇒ ane (primary suffix)
NC- ⇒ carbonitrile (secondary suffix)
The IUPAC Name Of  NC − CH2 − CH|CN−CH2−CN Is?...
⇒ 1,2,3-tricarbonitrile
Therefore,propane-1,2,3-tricarbonitrile
Question 14. What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?
CH3CH2C|CH3=CHCH2CH3|CHCH2CH3
  1.    3,6-Dimethyl-3-octene
  2.    3,6-Dimethyl-5-octene
  3.    2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2-heptene
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3,6-Dimethyl-3-octene
:
A
Parent chain is
1CH32CH23C|CH3=4CH5CH2CH36|CH7CH28CH3
Word root oct
Double bondsuffixene
Two methyl groups at C3andC53,6-dimethyl
Therefore, 3,6-Dimethyl-3-octene
Question 15. The IUPAC name of the following compound is?
CH3−CH2−CH2−C|HCH3−CH2−CH3|CH−CH3
  1.    2,4-Dimethylheptane
  2.    4,6-Dimethylheptane
  3.    2,4-Methylheptane
  4.    2,3-Ethylheptane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2,4-Dimethylheptane
:
A
Our first step should be to choose the longest chain from the given alkane.
Although there are 9 carbonatoms in total, the longest chain contains only 7 carbon atoms.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?CH3−CH2−CH2â...
Primary suffix =ane
Word root = hept
If we number the chain, as shown above, the two methyl substituents are at C4 and C6
Now, let's look at another case.
The IUPAC Name Of The Following Compound Is?CH3−CH2−CH2â...
Now we have substituents at C2andC4. In both cases, there are exactly two substituents.
We choose thenumbering direction that gives the lowest set of locants.
Hence, secondary prefix = 2,4-dimethyl (since there are two methyl groups-one each at C2andC4
Hence, the IUPAC name is 2,4-Dimethylheptane
