The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name of the organic compound `(CH₃)₂C(CH₂CH₃)CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃`, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Expanded Structure First, we need to expand the given molecular formula to visualize the structure. The compound can be represented as follows: - The `(CH₃)₂` indicates two methyl groups attached to a carbon. - The `C(CH₂CH₃)` indicates that this carbon is attached to an ethyl group (CH₂CH₃). - The `CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃` indicates that there is a carbon chain with a chlorine substituent. When we draw this out, we have: ``` CH₃ | CH₃-C-CH₂-CH(Cl)-CH₃ | CH₂CH₃ ``` ### Step 2: Identify the Longest Carbon Chain Next, we need to identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the structure. In this case, the longest chain contains 6 carbon atoms. ### Step 3: Number the Carbon Chain We will number the carbon chain starting from the end nearest to the substituents to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers: ``` 1 - CH₃ 2 - CH(Cl) 3 - CH₂ 4 - C (with two CH₃ groups) 5 - CH₂ 6 - CH₂CH₃ ``` ### Step 4: Identify Substituents From the numbering: - At carbon 2, there is a chlorine (Cl) substituent. - At carbon 4, there are two methyl (CH₃) groups. ### Step 5: Write the IUPAC Name Now we can compile the IUPAC name: - The longest chain is hexane (6 carbons). - The substituents are 2-chloro and 4,4-dimethyl. Putting it all together, the IUPAC name of the compound is: **2-chloro-4,4-dimethylhexane** ### Final Answer The IUPAC nomenclature of the given organic compound `(CH₃)₂C(CH₂CH₃)CH₂CH(Cl)CH₃` is **2-chloro-4,4-dimethylhexane**. ---
