The IUPAC name of this compound is? Options: A . &nbsp 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane B . &nbsp 1,1-Diethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane C . &nbsp 4,4-Dimethyl-5,5-diethylpentane D . &nbsp 5,5-Diethyl-4,4-dimethylpentane

Answer: Option A : A First, check the parent chain. Now, give numbers such that the more substituted substituent will get the lowest number. Parent chain 7 carbon ⇒ hept (word root) Single bonds ⇒ ane (suffix → substituent at C 3 a n d C 4 3-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl(alphabetically) Therefore, 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane

Question -

The IUPAC name of this compound is?

Options:

A . 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane

B . 1,1-Diethyl-2,2-dimethylpentane

C . 4,4-Dimethyl-5,5-diethylpentane

D . 5,5-Diethyl-4,4-dimethylpentane

Answer: Option A
:
A

First, check the parent chain.
Now, give numbers such that the more substituted substituent will get the lowest number.

Parent chain
7 carbon $\Rightarrow$ hept (word root)
Single bonds $\Rightarrow$ ane (suffix
$\to$ substituent at $C_{3} a n d C_{4}$ 3-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl(alphabetically)
Therefore, 3-Ethyl-4,4-dimethylheptane
