Name the following compound: CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3 1: butyl propyl ether. 2:propyl butyl ether. 3: 3-butyl propyl ether. 4: 4-propyl butyl ether.

Respuesta :

Answer: option 1: butyl propyl ether

Explanation:

1) Idenfify the functional group: R - O - R' => ether

2) Name the alkyl groups

a)
CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – : 3 carbons => propyl

b)
– CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3: 4 carbons => butyl

3) rule: name the subtituents in alphabetcial order => first butyl, second propyl

4) Result: buty propyl ether.
