The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the provided IUPAC names are incorrect, we will analyze each name step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first name - 2-methyl butane-3-ole 1. Identify the functional group: The name suggests a ketone (indicated by "ole"). 2. Determine the correct numbering: The ketone should be given the lowest possible number. - If we number from the left, the ketone is at position 3 (butane-3-ole). - If we number from the right, the ketone is at position 2 (butane-2-ole). 3. Since the ketone has a higher priority than the methyl group, we should start numbering from the end closest to the ketone. 4. The correct name should be 2-methylpentan-3-one, as the longest chain is 5 carbons (pentane) and the ketone is at position 3. **Conclusion for Step 1**: The name 2-methyl butane-3-ole is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second name - 4-ethenyl-1-pentene-4-yne 1. Identify the functional groups: There is a double bond (alkene) and a triple bond (alkyne). 2. Determine the correct numbering: Alkenes have a higher priority than alkynes. - Start numbering from the end closest to the double bond. - The correct numbering gives the double bond at position 1 and the triple bond at position 4. 3. The correct name should be 4-ethenyl-1-pentene-4-yne, as it accurately reflects the structure. **Conclusion for Step 2**: The name 4-ethenyl-1-pentene-4-yne is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third name - 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-3-one 1. Identify the functional groups: There is an alcohol (hydroxy) and a ketone. 2. Determine the correct priority: The ketone has a higher priority than the alcohol. 3. The correct numbering should start from the end closest to the ketone. - The longest carbon chain is 5 carbons (pentane). - The ketone should be at position 3, and the hydroxy group should be at position 2. 4. The correct name should be 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-3-one, which reflects the correct priority of functional groups. **Conclusion for Step 3**: The name 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-3-one is incorrect because it treats the alcohol as the primary functional group instead of the ketone. ### Final Conclusion: The incorrect IUPAC names are: 1. 2-methyl butane-3-ole 2. 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-3-one ### Summary of Incorrect Names: - The first name (2-methyl butane-3-ole) is incorrect due to improper functional group priority. - The third name (2-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-3-one) is incorrect for the same reason.
