Question 14.7: Write the IUPAC name of each thiol.

Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry

Write the IUPAC name of each thiol.

Strategy
To derive the IUPAC name of a thiol, select as the parent alkane the longest carbon chain that contains the —SH group. Show that the compound is a thiol by adding the suffix -thiol to the name of the parent alkane. Number the parent chain in the direction that gives the —SH group the lower number.
