Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the parent chain: The name '3-tert-butyl-1-phenylheptane' indicates that the parent chain is 'heptane', which consists of 7 carbon atoms in a straight chain.
Locate the substituents: The name indicates two substituents - a 'tert-butyl' group at the 3rd carbon and a 'phenyl' group at the 1st carbon of the heptane chain.
Draw the heptane chain: Start by drawing a straight chain of 7 carbon atoms, which represents the heptane backbone.
Add the tert-butyl group: At the 3rd carbon of the heptane chain, attach a tert-butyl group. A tert-butyl group is a branched alkyl group with the formula (CH3)3C-.
Add the phenyl group: At the 1st carbon of the heptane chain, attach a phenyl group, which is a benzene ring (C6H5-).
