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

[078matthijs]

good word for scrabble.

@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.

@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..)

@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.

@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.
