What Is The Name Of This Chemical Compound CH3C(CH3)2CH3?

5 Answers

• 1) 2,2 dimethylpropane

  2) 2-pentene

  3) 3-bromobutanol (I’m about 85% sure of this one, because I’m pretty sure in numbering that the -OH will take precedence over the Br)

  4) 1,3 butan diol (this one the structure is right, I just can’t remember how much of the butane you leave there before the diol)

  BrCH2BrCOHCH3

  I’ll space it out…

  BRCH2 BRCOH CH3

• [1] 2,2-dimethylpropane (though the 2,2 is redundant because the methyl groups couldn’t be anywhere else)

  [2] pent-2-ene

  [3](Is there one too many ‘O’s at the right … or is it a peroxide?) otherwise it’s 3-bromobutan-1-ol

  (Or is there an extra ‘H’) in which case it’s 3-bromobutanoic acid.

  [4] butane-1,3-diol.

  CH2BrC(OH)BrCH3 (which would be optically active)

• 1)CH3C(CH3)2CH3 – 2,2 dimethyl propane or isopentane

  2))CH3CH=CHCH2CH3 – pent-2-ene or 2-pentene

  3)CH3CHBrCH2CHOOH – 2-bromo-butanoic acid or 2-bromo-butyric acid

  4)CH2(OH)CH2CH(OH)CH3 – 1,3-dihydroxi-butane or butane-1,3-diol

  and 1,2-dibromopropan-2-ol has the following structural formula:

  CH2Br-CBr(OH)- CH3

• Just looked at the answers and M&M has definitely got it right!
