The name of the molecule below is: Please be sure that you can accurately depict the type of butyl group that is being used in the structure. Is it sec-butyl, t-butyl, n-butyl, or isobutyl? Recall that the first three use "b" for alphabetizing; whereas, the last one uses "i" for alphabetizing. How do you go about numbering the ring? Please see slides 14 and 19 from the Chapter 3 PowerPoint notes. 1-ethyl-3-isobutylcyclohexane 1-ethyl-3-sec-butylcyclohexane 1-sec-butyl-3-ethylcyclohexane

Step 1
The butyl group in question is attached to the cyclohexane ring at one end, and has a branching point at the second carbon atom from the point of attachment. This branching point leads to a methyl group, making it an isobutyl group. Show more…
