It has been suggested that the names of alkyl groups be derived from the alkane having the same carbon chain as the alkyl group. The -e ending of that alkane is replaced by -yl, and the chain is numbered from the end that gives the carbon at the point of attachment its lower number. This number immediately precedes the -yl ending and is bracketed by hyphens. 4-Methylpentan-1-yl 2-Methylpentan-2-yl 5 43 2 1 1 23 4 5 C CH3 CH3 HCH2CH2CH2 CH3 CCH2CH2CH3 CH3 Name the C4H9 alkyl groups according to this system.
