Organic Structures and General Rules of Organic Chemistry Flashcards
1
Q
What is the IUPAC name for this molecule?
A
2-propyl-1-pentene
Even though the longest chain appears to be seven carbons long, we have to start counting at the alkene functional group
2
Q
What is the IUPAC name for this molecule?
A
4-ethyl-2-methyl-3-hexene
3
Q
What is the IUPAC name for this molecule?
A
5-bromo-1-ethylcyclohexene
4
Q
A
(trans)-3,5,5, trimethyl-3-heptene
Becuase the bulkiest substituents of the alkene are on the opposing sides, the configuration is trans.
5
Q
What is a heterolytic cleavage?
A
Bond breaking in which both electrons of the bonding electron pair are taken by one product.
6
Q
What is homolytic cleavage?
A
Bond breaking in which one electron of the bonding electron pair is distributed to both of the molecules involved (typically radical processes)
