Need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

draw and name all of the structural isomers that are ketones with five carbon atoms in its longest chain and the molecular formula C5H10O. Can this molecular formula also have an aldehyde structure? If so, illustrate and name the aldehyde. Can this be drawn as an ether? Explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its goanna cost you a fortune..:p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keytones have C=O bonds in the hydrocarbon chain. So you can arrange the C=O CH3 and CH2 in any way and get five different structural isomers, such as Ch3-Ch2-Ch2-CH2- HC=O to get an aldehyde. It includes the aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and even esters. However, you can't draw an ether if the oxygen is double bonded to a carbon. It must be something like R-O-R to be an ether. Ester is O=C-O-R. Where R is any group.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u can have ketones, and aldehyde but no ether. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The aldehyde are pentanal, 3 methylbutanl, 2-methylbutanal, and 2,2-dimethylpropanal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Naming of aldehydes: Choose the longest hydrocarbon chain, and add suffix --al. Your naming is correct. You didn't draw the hydrogens.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) CH3-C-CH2-CH2-CH3 2-pentanone || O 2) CH3-CH2-C-CH2-CH3 3-pentanone || O 3) CH3-C-CH-CH3 Methyl isopropyl ketone (3methyl-2-butanol) || | O CH3 ALDEHYDES: 1') CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-HC=O Pentanal 2') CH3-CH2-O-CH=CH-CH3 -3-methylbutanol 3') OHC-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3 -2-methylbutanol how is this?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

There's 1 degree of saturation, meaning there's either a double bond or a ring here. Total of 16 isomers.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

20 isomers*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how many in total do i have to list out?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

If they didn't specify a number, I would draw all 20 isomers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is what I can't find anywhere on the internet about the isomers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tried to look it up and got nothing

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Do you know \(what\) an isomer is??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a compound displaying isomerism with one or more other compounds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any of two or more substances that are composed of the same elements in the same proportions but differ in properties because of differences in the arrangement of atoms

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes. And do you know what it means to have 1 degree saturation?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Chmvajay, r u going to help or just flippin watch?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what 1 degree saturation is

OpenStudy (abb0t):

It tells you whether you have double bonds or a ring basically. 1 degree saturation means you should look for a carbonyl or a carbon-carbon double bond, or a ring or an aromatic ring... 1 degree means you have either a double bond or carbonyl or a ring. But, only one.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Here is an example of what I mean: |dw:1390017400538:dw|

OpenStudy (abb0t):

And I don't know what that other person was talking about, but you can have an ether. I see \(\sf \color{Red}{two}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused of what to write for this question

OpenStudy (abb0t):

|dw:1390017523550:dw|

OpenStudy (abb0t):

For the question at hand, you have \(\sf \color{red}{9}\) isomers: 4 aldehydes, two ethers, and 3 ketones. I'll leave it to you to draw them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) CH3-C-CH2-CH2-CH3 2-pentanone || O 2) CH3-CH2-C-CH2-CH3 3-pentanone || O 3) CH3-C-CH-CH3 Methyl isopropyl ketone (3methyl-2-butanol) || | O CH3 ALDEHYDES: 1') CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-HC=O Pentanal 2') CH3-CH2-O-CH=CH-CH3 -3-methylbutanol 3') OHC-CH(CH3)-CH2-CH3 -2-methylbutanol are these some?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Can you draw them using bond line notation? It's easier and faster. You don't need to name them, just draw them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to get 9 isomers for this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For ketones are they methyl isopropyl, 2-pentanone, and 3-pentanone?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

DRAW THEM!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pentanal, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, ether:tetrahydropyran,2-methyltetrahydrofuran?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1390019933031:dw|?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1390020053627:dw|

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes, that's 2-methyl-3-butanone above, and 2 pentanone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1390020120068:dw| 3-pentanone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it called 2-methyl-3-butanone or methyl isopropyl ketone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1390020229879:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1390020318151:dw|
