Interpretation:
The name of the given
Concept introduction:
The organic compounds generally contain carbon atoms. The naming of organic compounds is done by considering three main terms which are prefix, suffix and the root name. The longest chain in the compound is first identified and named that will be the root name for the compound. For example, if there are 3 carbon atoms in the longest chain, the root name will be “prop”. To determine the suffix,
Answer to Problem 1PP
2, 3-difluorobutane.
Explanation of Solution
The given organic compound is as follows:
It is an alkyl halide with 4 number of carbon atoms. Thus, the root name will be “But”. The naming of carbon atoms is done as follows:
There are 2 fluorine (halide) atoms, one each at 2nd and 3rd positions in the main chain. The name of the compound will be 2, 3-difluorobutane.
Thus, the name of the given compound is 2, 3-difluorobutane.
