​

Answer 1

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the given compound is 2-Bromo-3-chlorobutane.

Explanation:

The compound is CH₃CH(Cl)CH(Br)CH₃

the parent chain has 4 carbons, then, word root will be 'But'. Since all of them are single-bonded C, the name of the parent chain will be 'Butane'. The compound has 2 substituents Br ('Bromo') and Cl ('Chloro'). Both groups have equal priority in naming. So the numbering will be done in alphabetic order, that is Br at the C-2 position and Cl at the C-3 position.

Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is 2-Bromo-3-chlorobutane.
