Question

Organic Chem Question (typed below)

Answer 1

what does nPrBr look like (the n is italicized)

Answer 2

the prefix \(n\) is to show that the molecule is linear, so it's n-propylbromide (or in IUPAC, 1-bromopropane)

Another prefix you might come across is \(i\) or \(iso\), \(i\)PrBr would be 2-bromopropane.

Answer 3

so normal propane bromide

Answer 4

normal means linear, or straight, so no branch, propane means 3 carbon, bromide means Br at the end

Answer 5

Thank you both!
