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 \quad\quad \text{Hexane}Next, find the substituents (3-isopropyl and 2-methyl) and place them on the proper carbons:
\quad\quad CH_{3}CHCH_{3} \longleftarrow \text{An isopropyl group at C3}\\\quad\quad\quad\quad|\\ \underset{1}{C}-\underset{2}{C}-\underset{3}{C}-\underset{4}{C}-\underset{5}{C}-\underset{6}{C}\\\quad\quad \ |\\ \quad\quad CH_{3} \longleftarrow \text{A methyl group at C2}Finally, add hydrogens to complete the structure:
\quad CH_{3}CHCH_{3}\\\quad\quad\quad\quad|\\CH_{3}CHCHCH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3} \quad\quad\quad\quad \text{3-Isopropyl-2-methylhexane}\\ \quad\quad \ | \\ \quad\quad CH_{3}
