Question

write the IUPAC name of the compound CH3-O-(CH2)2-CH3​

Answer 1

Explanation:

CH3–O–CH2CH2CH3 is methyl propyl ether. If both groups are the same, the group name should be preceded by the prefix di-, as in dimethyl ether (CH3–O–CH3) and diethyl ether CH3CH2–O–CH2CH3. Ether molecules have no hydrogen atom on the oxygen atom (that is, no OH group)
