Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The number of different three-carbon and four-carbon alkyl groups has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Alkyl groups are named according to
Rule 1:
Longest continuous chain which begins at the point of attachment of the alkyl group becomes the base name for the alkyl group.
Rule 2:
Base chain that is identified is numbered in a way beginning at the point of attachment.
Rule 3:
The substituents that are present in the base chain is listed in alphabetical order using the locant as prefixes whenever necessary.
