Question

Name the following compound: CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3 1: butyl propyl ether. 2:propyl butyl ether. 3: 3-butyl propyl ether. 4: 4-propyl butyl ether.

Answer 1

The given compound is named as propyl octyl ether.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given compound is CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – O – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3. To name this compound, we need to identify the longest carbon chain connected to the oxygen atom. In this case, it is an eight-carbon chain, so the parent chain is octane. Since the oxygen atom is connected to the second carbon atom in the chain, the prefix propyl is used. The compound is then named as propyl octyl ether.

Answer 2

Answer: option 1: butyl propyl ether

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Idenfify the functional group: R - O - R' => ether

2) Name the alkyl groups

a) CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – : 3 carbons => propyl

b) – CH2 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3: 4 carbons => butyl

3) rule: name the subtituents in alphabetcial order => first butyl, second propyl

4) Result: buty propyl ether.
