Write the structural formulas for each of the following groups: (i) n -butyl, (ii) isobutyl, (iii) sec -butyl, (iv) tertbutyl, (v) isopentyl (isomyl), and (vi) tert-pentyl ( t -amyl). Strategy: In n -alkyl groups, all C atoms form a continous C chain with no branching. In isoalkyl group, there is a CH_(3) -group on the next-to-end carbon in the chain.
