Newman projection of 3-methylpentane - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Oct 29, 2017 · The Newman projections of 3-methylpentane are: This is a staggered conformation. Another one would be. This is also a stggered conformation and is the most stable of conformers. You can generate other conformers by rotating the C-3 or C-4 atom along the C-3 C-4 bond axis. answered Oct 29, 2017 at 4:19. 7 40 80.
organic chemistry - Why is 2-ethylpentane is not a valid IUPAC …
Apr 22, 2018 · I'm currently writing all the names of alkanes having molecular formula $\\ce{C7H16}$. I wish to ask why 2-ethylpentane is not a valid IUPAC name, but 3-ethylpentane is?
organic chemistry - Anomalous boiling point of "iso-" alkanes ...
Aug 21, 2020 · However, the boiling point of 3-methylpentane is 63 ∘C 63 ∘ C whereas for isohexane it is 60 ∘C 60 ∘ C which contradicts the above statement, according to which iso-hexane should have had the greater boiling point. Thinking there was a flaw in my assumptions, I compared the boiling points of 3-methylheptane and 4-methylheptane.
organic chemistry - Determining the stereochemistry of the …
Mar 28, 2018 · Interestingly, assuming the nucleophile is $\ce{EtOH}$, in the final product - 2-d-3-ethoxy-3-methylpentane, carbon 2 is also a chiral center. I assume that it will be racemized, as in usual S N 1 reactions, but I am not sure.
organic chemistry - What are the products in this SN1 reaction ...
Dec 2, 2012 · I am asked to identify the organic/inorganic products of an S N 1 reaction between 3-iodopentane and ethanol. I have identified correctly that the substrate is the 3-iodopentane, the leaving group is the iodide, and that the nucleophile is the ethanol. My problem is that I do not understand what the products will be, and I am unsure why.
nomenclature of citric acid - Chemistry Stack Exchange
If you would name it as an 1,3,5-trioic acid then the carbon atom of the 3-carboxy group had to be part of the of carbon skeleton from which the name of the acid derives, namely 3-methylpentane, not pentane. So the name is 3-carboxy-3-hydroxypentane-1,5-dioic acid, or, named as carboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid.
organic chemistry - Products of radical bromination and …
5. My organic chemistry final is next Tuesday, and I have worked through the practice final. The last question is the following: Give and name all the compounds resulting from the radical monobromination 2,3-dimethylpentane. Indicate the major and minor products. I drew:
When 2-pentene reacts with HBr, what will be the major product?
Jun 3, 2019 · If we consider the first step (formation of carbocation by the attack of the proton). A couple of textbooks I referred say that when the substituents on the $\\ce{C=C}$ are different, the direction...
3-ethyl-2-methylpentane-2,3-diol with sulfuric acid
Jun 29, 2015 · 2. I was studying pinacol pinacolone reaction when I came across this. I believe the hydrogen cation will attack the hydroxyl group of carbon attached to two ethyl groups (since this carbocation is more stable due to the inductive effect), then methyl group will migrate and hence we get 3-ethyl-3-methylpentan-2-one, but the book says the answer ...
What is the major product on chlorination of 2-methylbutane?
Mar 6, 2015 · I came across a question asking for the major product on chlorination of 2-methylbutane. The answer in the back of the book says it will be 2-chloro-3-methylbutane. However, I thought the major pro...
