Okay, this problem is asking us to draw the structure of the compound, and the compound is 2 -2 -dymethyl 4 -probo octane.
00:05
So the very first thing that i would do when looking at these types of problems is to look at the very back or the very end.
00:11
When i look at the very back, i write down whatever that is, and then i work my way backwards.
00:16
Okay, so that is just my recommendation, but we obviously can do whatever we want and whatever is easiest for us.
00:21
But that is just what i would recommend because that's easiest for me.
00:24
Okay, so octane.
00:25
Oct corresponds to eight carbons and aine corresponds to the alkan nature of the compound and by alkan i mean only single bonds okay so octane that means that i'm going to have eight carbons so i'm going to write ph three connect to ph two and then i have six more to go so there's five more to go four more to go three more to go two more to go and then finally my last one ch three okay, let's just confirm that that's eight carbons.
00:58
I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
01:01
Eight carbons, perfect.
01:03
Okay, now let's continue along my naming conventions.
01:06
So i did octane.
01:08
I'm done with that.
01:09
Okay, now i'm going to focus on my four propyl.
01:11
So four propyl corresponds to at the fourth carbon.
01:15
So let's number this.
01:15
I have one, two, three, four.
01:18
And again, i have five, six, seven, eight...
