Question

How do you draw the structure of 5-iodo-2-methoxyhexane?

Answer 1

The structure is in attachment.
Hexane is alkane (acyclic saturated hydrocarbon, carbon-carbon bonds are single) of six carbon atoms. Methoxy group is the functional group consisting of a methyl group bound to oxygen. Iodo is substituent consists of ionide (element in 17 periodic group).

Answer 2

Answer:

Point out the substituents and longest carbon chain to draw the structure

Explanation:

It is a substituted alkane with longest carbon chain contains 6 carbon atoms ("Hex" denotes 6 carbons and "ane" denotes alkane)

There are two substituents present here- (1) methoxy group at C-2 position and (2) iodo group at C-5 position.

Place these two substituents in main carbon chain to draw 5-iodo-2-methoxyhexane
