Write down the IUPAC name of a hydrocarbon having a `4^(@)` C - atom with molecular formula, `C_(6)H_(14)` . How many monobromo derivaties of this hydrocarbon is possible? Write their structures.

Explanation

The hydrocarbon corresponding to the molecular formula `C_(6)H_(16)` and containing one tertiary carbon atom is `overset(1)(C)H_(3)overset(2)(C)(CH_(3))_(2)overset(3)(C)H_(2)overset(4)(C)H_(3)` (C - 2 is a quartenary carbon atom). Its IUPAC name is 2,2 - dimethylbutane.
Since the alkane contains three type of non - equivalent hydrogen atoms, three monobromo derivaties of the alkane are possible. These are: `BrCH_(2)C(CH_(3))_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3),(CH_(3))_(2)C CHBrCH_(3)and (CH_(3))_(3)C CH_(2)CH_(2)Br`.
