Organic Chemistry Naming Examples 4

@InspirationIsFree sorry biscyclobutyl

[mobaccho]

"haha there's something strangely fun about this"

seriously?

[DarrenthePopKidz]

wow, like a crazy tortoise... and it's name is extraordinarily long... (the whole name is one word only..)

[078matthijs]

good word for scrabble.

[georgyorgy2]

This is wrong...

I got 1, 4 - dicyclobutyl-2-cyclopropyl-5, 7-diisobutyl cyclooctane

[MekkaSG]

@georgyorgy2 I KNOW u see that somebody already put that comment because its at the top under "top comments" -_-.

People just love to hear... or in this case.. see themselves talk.

[georgyorgy2]

@MekkaSG Don't be a complete idiot. It has 3 Votes Up so it most likely just recently became a Top Comment. I did not see it when I posted this. Besides, it should be 1,4-dicyclobutyl-5,7 diisobutyl-2-cyclopropylcycloo­ctane. The naming scheme needs to be in alphabetical order. the butyls would come before the propyl since it comes earlier in the alphabet. Now shut up and keep yourself busy by making me a sandwich.

[ulyshome]

@georgyorgy2 with diisobutyl and cyclopropyl why would u not count the cyclo part as coming before in the alphabet? and with isobutyl dont u use the iso part to determine its position in the alphabetical order?? im sincerely asking because i would like to know for future refrence.

[LucianoMyths]

@georgyorgy2 Isobutyl is considered as one word, in contrast sec-butyl is considered 2 words and so the B is considered when determining alphabetic order, but since he has used isobutyl the "b" is not considered as the first letter "i" is, hence the alphabetical order.

[MonaRocks09]

it looks like mr krabs

[MonaRocks09]

it looks like Mr Krabs

[fosheimdet]

lol the molecule looks like an alien xD

[PawanR88]

why put "Di" when the numbers like 1,6 will notify there are already 2 groups we're talking about? why not just put 1,6 - cyclobutyl, instead of 1,6 Di-cyclobutyl.

[IShwazZeRI]

@PawanR88 Yeah, its kind of redundant but thats the IUPAC rules haha.

[joshmdmd]

I was always under the impression that you cannot have a three carbon ring? is it possible to have a cyclopropyl? I mean is cyclopropyl a real thing?

[TheCatLovers6]

wouldn't it be 1,4-dicyclobutyl-2-cyclopropyl­-5,7-diisobutylcyclooctane because it gives the lowest number combination?

[Oliprego]

shouldn't 2,4 di iso butyl be written before 7 cyclopropyl, cause you also have to consider the iso in the name?

[junior1984able]

SO, it s okay to start numbering where theirs a fragment group attached to the main group.?

[junior1984able]

great work ,, 

[wendy033081]

what if you started numbering from the other cyclobutyl and proceed clockwise? will you have a wrong answer? i think it will give you lower sets of numbers like 1,4-dicyclobutyl instead of 1,6 and 2 cyclopropyl instead of 7-cyclopropyl.

[YourDailyLaughz]

@wendy033081 That was my question as well. Did you ever understand it?

[darkangelique]

when ur naming this with the systematic naming system how come the 1,6dicyclobutyl isnt 1,6 bis? im jst curious....

[walterbrunswick]

@bindaasmahesh Me too! Can't live without it :)

[Lindlaar]

These videos are amazing helpful. I took orgo 2 years ago and need to know it for the mcat. This is a better review than I could ever ask for

[1thprettymoon]

Thanks very much.

[AG013]

thanks : )

[homousios]

you identified why this is so fascinating. Very good thanks

[minoc2]

I love it - "There is something very strangely fun about this" .... "Like a secret code"
