Answer 1

According to the IUPAC convention alkyl substituents on a hydrocarbon chain should be listed in alphabetical without considering prefixes order.

What is IUPAC convention?

IUPAC convention of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).

The name of the compound is written out with the substituents in alphabetical order followed by the base name (derived from the number of carbons in the parent chain).

Types of IUPAC  Nomenclature of a few important aliphatic compounds:

1. Alkane
2. Alkene
3. Alkyne

Example :

Ethane, which has 2 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms, with the molecular formula of = C₂H₆

Formation of alkyl group:

Methane (CH₄)  Remove 1 hydrogen (H) convert to methyl (H₃-C-)

Example: Propyl (-CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - )

According to the IUPAC convention alkyl substituents on a hydrocarbon chain should be listed in alphabetical without considering prefixes order.
