Question

Hexane exhibits chain isomerism. One of its isomers possess two tertiary carbon atoms. Arrange the following steps in proper sequence to write IUPAC name for the respective isomer.
(a) Identification of number of carbon atoms in the main chain
(b) Writing the structure of respective isomer of hexane
(c) Numbering of carbon chain
(d) Giving position numbers for the alkyl groups attached to main chain
(e) Identification of nature of tertiary carbon atom

• A. baced
• B. eabfd
• C. becad
• D. ebacd

Answer 1

The correct option is C becad

the rules are:
(i) Writing the structure of respective isomer of hexane
(ii) Identification of nature of tertiary carbon atom
(iii) Numbering of carbon chain
(iv) Identification of number of carbon atoms in the main chain
(v) Giving position numbers for the alkyl groups attached to main chain
