1.) 4-methylbutyl 3-ethylpentanoate
2.) 2-methylethyl 3-ethylpentanoate
3.) Phenol 3-ethylpentanoate
Replace the 3's with 2's. Did it again.
1.) 2-methylethyl 2-ethylpentanoate
2.) 3-methylpropyl 2-ethylpentanoate
3.) Phenol 3-ethylpentanoate
3.) Phenol 2-ethylpentanoate
Sorry about that one.
Ok I understand how your getting the parent compound. I'm not understanding where for example question 1, the '2-methylbutyl'. Thats where I keep getting messed up.
Your going to count the number of carbons from the end furthest away from the ester. So, lets take 2 propanol for example:
O-and everything else
I
CH3-CH-CH3
1---2----methyl
Hope that makes since. Spacing is a problem on this forum.
O-and everything else
I
should be connected to the CH
Oh ok thank you. Sorry, I'm really dumb when it comes to this stuff
:)
