what will be the name of this compound (organic chemistry)
Answers
Answer:
In order to name organic compounds you must first memorize a few basic names. These names are listed within the discussion of naming alkanes. In general, the base part of the name reflects the number of carbons in what you have assigned to be the parent chain.
hope this answer is helpful for you.
As you can see the longest carbon chain is of 5 carbon atoms.
So, the root word will be "pent"
The numbering of the carbon chain begins from the left, as fluorine must get the lowest position.
The suffix will be -ane as only single bonds are present throughout the molecule.
Three fluorine atoms are attached to the pent carbon chain at positions 1,2,2.
So, the IUPAC name of the compound will be: 1,2,2-Trifluoropentane
