Give the structure and name of the cycloalkanes described.

(a) A compound whose molecular formula is C₇H₁₄ and contains a six-membered ring

Accepted Answer

Welcome back, everyone give the line angle structure. In the systematic name of the compound described below a seven membered cycle L cane with the molecular formula of seeds and age 20 assume only one straight chain substituent. As the problem suggests, the given structure is a cyclo cane and it is seven, which means that we have a seven membered ring. So what we want to do is simply introduce a seven member rang using line angle notation. So let's go ahead. We have 123456 and we need the seventh carbon atom. So we have thrown a seven member ring. However, the molecular formula is C 10 H 20. So if we have seven carbon atoms, we need we more carbons. The problem states that we want to assume only one straight chain substituent. So those three carbon atoms are going to be represented by a straight chain substituent. We don't want any branching. We simply want to draw a three numbered zigzag and this gives us a total of 10 Harbans. Now, do we need to count Hagens? We don't, we don't need to count the number of hydrogen atoms because if it is a cycle LK, it will always have a general formula of CNH two N. So whenever N becomes 10, the number of hydrogen atoms will always be 20 regardless of any type of branching or the number of side chains. So we have the correct formula. We have the correct structure based on the requirements. We simply want to give the systematic name and to give the systematic name. We first of all want to state that we have Cyclo heptane. Whenever we name a cyclo Alcaine, the parent begins with cyclo, followed by the prefix that represents the number of carbon atoms in the ring. And as we can see, we have 1234567 members, seven is heta since it is an al cane, it ends with a ne. And because it is a cyclic Alcaine, we add cyclo in front. So that's our parent. And now we want to consider the substituent or the side chain, which is a three membered one and we call it a pro substation. So if that's our only substituent, we simply want to add it in front of the name. And we don't need to add any prefix indicating the position of that substituent. The reason why we're not adding a prefix is simply because we don't have any other substituents. And if there's only one specific branch, it automatically defines carbon number one. So we simply don't have any additional branches that we need to identify in relation to that propel group. So we don't need to state one propel cycle heptane, right? And that would be the final name for the given structure which meets the given criteria. Propi cyclo heptane is the final answer. Thank you for watching.
