Give the IUPAC name for the following compound: Multiple Choice (1R,3R)-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane (1S,3S)-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane (1R,3S)-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane (1S,3R)-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane

Respuesta :

Answer:

(1R,3R)-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane.

Explanation:

NOTE: The question is not complete since we do not have the diagram to the chemical structure in the question. Kindly check the attached picture for the diagram of the chemical structure.

So, in order to name Enantiomers or chemical structure through the use of the R,S system requires series of rules and regulations to follow for the proper naming.

There is an ethyl attached to the compound as the first substituents and methyl at the third which are the secondary prefix.

=> The longest chain is 6, thus the compound has hexane as the root compound.

=> It is (1R,3R) because when we draw from the highest substituents to the lower substituents, this is done in a clockwise direction.
