Write the IUPAC name of the following:-

Write the IUPAC name of the following:- CH3 — CH3 c — CH2 CH2CH2CHO

We need to always make sure that the functional group gets lowest numbering. Thus, we start numbering from right to left end. 
This gives us the name: 5, 5 - Dimethylhexan - 1 - al or 5, 5- Dimethylhexanal. 
 

  • 2
2,2-dimethyl hexan-6-al
  • 1
2,2 di mehyl hexane .......
may be
 
  • 0
2,2 di methyl hexanal
  • 0
Since cho(aldehyde) is attached to the carbon chain the numbering of the chain will start from it..... Hence the name would be 5,5 dimethyl hexn-1-al
  • -1
sureeeeeeeeeeeee
  • 0
2,2-dimethyl hexanal

(one) because there is CHO as a functional group which is an aldehyde
  • 0
