Converting a Name into a Chemical Structure
Draw the structure of 3-isopropyl-2-methylhexane.
Step-by-Step
First, look at the parent name (hexane) and draw its carbon structure:
C-C-C-C-C-C Hexane
Next, find the substituents (3-isopropyl and 2-methyl) and place them on the proper carbons:
\begin{matrix} \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \underset{|}{CH_3CHCH_3} \ \leftarrow \text{An isopropyl group at C3} \\ \underset{1}{C}-\underset{2}{C}-\underset{3}{C}-\underset{4}{C}-\underset{5}{C}-\underset{6}{C} \\ \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\ \ \overset{|}{CH_3} \ \leftarrow \ \text{A methyl groud at C2} \end{matrix}
Finally, add hydrogens to complete the structure:
\begin{matrix} \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \underset{|}{CH_3CHCH_3} \ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \\ CH_3CHCHCH_2CH_2CH_3 \\ \quad \quad\quad\quad\quad\ \ \overset{|}{CH_3} \ \ \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad \quad \end{matrix} 3-Isopropyl-2-methylhexane
