O-CHEM nomenclature UPDATE

[somebody]

ok, guys in the previous thread i ask does iso, sec, and tert count in alphabete when naming compound and some of you said yes!

 

um.. like i said, my teacher is saying that you do count them in and so does the Dean of the Chem department. BUT book defines iso____ as hitoric name so the book counts that into the alphabet but does not alphabatize sec or tert.

 

for example (book): 3-isopropyl-2-methylnonane AND

1-t-butyl-2,3-dimethylhexane

example (teacher): 2,3-dimethyl-1-t-butylhexane

 

 

professor wants his way for exam but i am worried about ACS exam at the end of semester so please help me out!:naughty:
