Textbook Question

Name each of the following:
c. <IMAGE>

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule. This chain will serve as the parent chain for naming the compound.

Step 2: Determine the functional group present in the molecule. In this case, the blue atom represents a nitrogen atom, indicating the presence of an amine functional group.

Step 3: Number the carbon atoms in the parent chain starting from the end closest to the functional group (the nitrogen atom) to ensure the lowest possible number for the substituent.

Step 4: Identify and name any substituents attached to the parent chain. For example, methyl groups or other alkyl groups should be noted and their positions specified.

Step 5: Combine the names of the parent chain, substituents, and functional group into the IUPAC name, ensuring proper placement of numbers and prefixes.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Functional Groups

Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. In organic chemistry, recognizing functional groups is crucial for naming compounds and predicting their reactivity. Common functional groups include alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids, each imparting distinct properties to the molecules they are part of.

IUPAC Nomenclature

IUPAC nomenclature is a systematic method for naming organic chemical compounds. It provides a set of rules to create unique names based on the structure of the molecule, including the longest carbon chain, the presence of functional groups, and the position of substituents. Understanding these rules is essential for accurately identifying and communicating about organic compounds.

Stereochemistry

Stereochemistry is the study of the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and how this affects their chemical behavior. It includes concepts such as chirality, where molecules can exist in non-superimposable mirror images, and geometric isomerism, which involves different spatial arrangements of groups around a double bond. Recognizing stereochemical features is important for understanding the reactivity and properties of organic compounds.
