The IUPAC name of the following compound is : [figure]

  1. 2-bromo-5-methylhexylpropanoate
  2. n-propyl-1-bromo-4-methylhexanoate
  3. n-propyl-2-bromo-5-methylheptanoate
  4. 2-bromo-5-methylpropanoate

Answer

(3) n-propyl-2-bromo-5-methylheptanoate

Solution

The compound is an ester R–COO–R′. The alkyl group on oxygen is written first and the acid part is named as ‘-oate’.

Alkyl group on O: -CH2CH2CH3 ⇒ (n-)propyl

Acid part: the longest chain starting from the C=O carbon (C-1) runs through the ethyl branch ⇒ 7 carbons ⇒ heptanoate

1COO- 2CH(Br)- 3CH2- 4CH2- 5CH(CH3)- 6CH2- 7CH3

Br at C-2 and CH3 at C-5

Name: n-propyl 2-bromo-5-methylheptanoate
