Question

Name the following compound.

• A. Butane thiol
• B. 2-mercapto butane
• C. 2-methyl propane thiol
• D. 1-methyl propane thiol

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1-methyl propane thiol

We need to include the functional group in the longest chain.

So, methyl group would be a substituent on the second group

Here, the suffix would be thiol and the word root is prop

1-methyl propanethiol
