1 answer:
If we consider a structure in which a carbon is bonded to two three carbon chains and a branched alkane then the branched alkane is a 2 carbon chain with a ethyl on Carbon 1 then the correct name of the structure is <u>4-(isopropyl)heptane. </u>
The two three carbon chains bonded to the carbon atom will form the parent chain of this structure and this chain will have 7 carbon atoms in it.
Since this chain is that of an alkane and it has no functional group attached so the root name will be heptane.
Now, we have to add a prefix by naming the branched alkyl chain. The branched chain has 3 carbon atoms in it with a methyl group on carbon 1.
So, this name of this group will be propyl.
The position of this propyl group is 4th on the parent chain so the full name of the structure will be 4-(isopropyl)heptane.
