Question

give some example to find the long chain (organic chemistry)​

Answer 1

Complete step by step answer:

According to the rules of nomenclature

It should have the maximum number of single bonds.

For example, butane and 2-methylpropane have the same molecular formula but they have different structural formulas. The length of parent carbon chain in butane is 4 carbon atoms, whereas the length of parent carbon chain in 2-methyl propane is 3 carbon atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

. If there are two or more longest chains of equal length, the one having the largest number of substituents is chosen. 2. If both ends of the root chain have equidistant substituents: (i) begin numbering at the end nearest a third substituent, if one is present.Currently, palytoxin and maitotoxin are believed to have the longest carbon chains in nature (more than 100 A in length), except for biopolymers.
