Chapter 3, Problem 3.62

(choose chapter or problem)

As we have seen in Section 3.4, the IUPAC system divides the name of a compound into a prefix (showing the number of carbon atoms), an infix (showing the presence of carbon–carbon single, double, or triple bonds), and a suffix (showing the presence of an alcohol, amine, aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid). Assume for the purposes of this problem that, to be alcohol (-ol) or amine (-amine), the hydroxyl or amino group must be bonded to a tetrahedral (sp³ hybridized) carbon atom.

Given this information, write the structural formula of a compound with an unbranched chain of four carbon atoms that is an:

(a) Alkane

(b) Alkene

(c) Alkyne

(d) Alkanol

(e) Alkenol

(f) Alkynol

(g) Alkanamine

(h) Alkenamine

(i) Alkynamine

(j) Alkanal

(k) Alkenal

(l) Alkynal

(m) Alkanone

(n) Alkenone

(o) Alkynone

(p) Alkanoic acid

(q) Alkenoic acid

(r) Alkynoic acid

(Note: There is only one structural formula possible for some parts of this problem. For other parts, two or more structural formulas are possible. Where two or more are possible, we will deal with how the IUPAC system distinguishes among them when we come to the chapters on those particular functional groups.)
