I was hoping someone would be able to check my work on naming a few organic compounds. I believe I have the answers correct but I'd just like to double check!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how this is butanol?i can see only three carbons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its propanol.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa its propanol

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Nice!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh that was a silly mistake you're right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1378133229522:dw|

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

its pent-2-yne

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you only need to note the first carbon in the triple bond then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one I had a lot of trouble with for some reason |dw:1378133901375:dw|

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

its propan-1,3-diol

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

because there are two OH attached to the carbon chain..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes sense. We just started working on naming these compounds so I'm sorry if I seem ignorant or oblivious to small details. I really adore chemistry so I'm trying to understand as much of it as I can and I appreciate your help.

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

Ur welcome....

|dw:1378134277955:dw| I struggled with this one as well but 1-octene?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure how to note the side chains for this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually would it be diethylmethyloctane?

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

i cant understand that one... :-(

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

its 3-ethyl-5-methyloct-1-ene

OpenStudy (prakharluv):

@gabriellerenee am i right...?????
