Draw the correct structure for each compound.
d. 5-ethyl-3,6-dimethyl-2-heptene

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, we're asked to determine the structure of the following. Al, keen first. Let's go ahead and break this down into its components. So looking at our base name, we have non nine and this tells us that we have a double bond At carbon number four And this prefix of non also tells us that we have a nine carbon as our longest chain. Looking at our substitue ints, it looks like we have an ethyl group at our carbon number five and an isopropyl group at our carbon number four. Now that we've broken this down into its components, let's go ahead and draw this out by drawing out our non in first. So we have a nine carbon chain and a double bond at carbon number four. And I'll go ahead and number this out for us. So we have and nine. Drawing out our substitue ints at carbon number four, we do have the isopropyl group and at carbon number five we do have that ethyl group. So that is a two carbon group and this is going to be our final structure for our alkaline. Now, I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
