The correct Answer is:
To determine which IUPAC name among the given options is incorrect, we need to follow the systematic rules of naming organic compounds. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Longest Continuous Chain - Look for the longest continuous carbon chain in the compound. This will be the base name of the compound. ### Step 2: Identify the Substituents - Identify any substituent groups attached to the longest chain. These could be alkyl groups (like methyl, ethyl, etc.) or functional groups (like hydroxyl, carbonyl, etc.). ### Step 3: Number the Chain - Number the carbon chain starting from the end nearest to the first substituent. This ensures that the substituents get the lowest possible numbers. ### Step 4: Designate the Location of Substituents - Assign numbers to the substituents based on their position on the carbon chain. ### Step 5: Write the Name - Combine the names of the substituents and the base name of the compound. When listing substituents, they should be arranged in alphabetical order regardless of their position numbers. ### Example Analysis Let’s analyze the provided options based on the above steps: 1. **Option A**: - Longest chain: 7 carbons (heptane). - Substituents: 3-methyl and 4-ethyl. - Correct name: 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane (substituents in alphabetical order). - **Conclusion**: This name is incorrect as it should be 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane. 2. **Option B**: - Longest chain: 4 carbons (butane). - Substituent: 3-methyl. - Correct name: 3-methylbutanol. - **Conclusion**: This name is correct. 3. **Option C**: - Longest chain: 4 carbons (butane). - Substituents: 2-ethyl and 3-methyl. - Correct name: 2-ethyl-3-methylbutane. - **Conclusion**: This name is correct. 4. **Option D**: - Longest chain: 5 carbons (pentane). - Substituent: 4-methyl. - Functional group: triple bond (alkyne). - Correct name: 4-methyl-1-pentyne. - **Conclusion**: This name is correct. ### Final Conclusion The incorrect IUPAC name among the options provided is **Option A**: 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane.
