Question

Can you please write the isomer name though? I will draw it from that.


Write an isomer of structure for a), b) and c) and name them.

a) 3,3-dimethylpentane

b)3-methyl-4-ethyl-1-hexyne

c)3,3,4-trimethyl-1-pentene

Answer 1

CH3-CH2-C(CH3)2-CH3-CH3 is the 3-3 dimethylpentane. So just move one of the methyl groups to make it
2,3-dimethylpentane or
2,4-dimethylpentane or put both CH3 group on the 2 C to make
2,2-dimethylpetane.

For 3-methyl-4-ethyl-1-hexyne why not put methyl group on 3 and ethyl on 4?
Or CH3 on 3 and ethyl on 5. I think you must be making this harder than it is. If you will tell me what's giving you trouble perhaps I can clear it up.
