instructions:

answer the following questions in the space provided.
curriculum expectation b2. investigate organic compounds and organic chemical reactions, and use various methods to represent the compounds.
- name the following compounds. where necessary use e/z notation.
Identify the first compound (top-left)
Using the Organic Chemistry knowledge point
- The longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl group \(\text{-OH}\) has 5 carbons (pentane).
- Numbering from the right gives the \(\text{-OH}\) group the lowest locant: carbon-2.
- The IUPAC name is pentan-2-ol.
Identify the second compound (top-right)
Using the Amide Nomenclature and Organic Chemistry knowledge points
- The carbonyl group is attached to a nitrogen atom, indicating an amide.
- The acyl chain (carbonyl side) has 4 carbons (butanamide).
- The nitrogen atom is substituted with a methyl group and an ethyl group.
- Alphabetical order for substituents: \(N\)-ethyl-\(N\)-methylbutanamide.
Identify the third compound (bottom-left)
Using the Alkene Stereochemistry and Organic Chemistry knowledge points
- The longest carbon chain containing the double bond has 6 carbons (hex-2-ene).
- Numbering from the right gives the double bond the lowest locant: carbon-2.
- There is a methyl substituent at carbon-3: 3-methylhex-2-ene.
- Determine stereochemistry (\(E/Z\)) at C2=C3:
- At C2: \(\text{-H}\) (low priority, 2) vs \(\text{-CH}_3\) (high priority, 1).
- At C3: \(\text{-CH(CH}_3)_2\) (isopropyl, high priority, 1) vs \(\text{-CH}_2\text{CH}_3\) (ethyl, low priority, 2).
- The high-priority groups (\(\text{-CH}_3\) on C2 and isopropyl on C3) are on opposite sides of the double bond, which corresponds to the \((E)\) configuration.
- The IUPAC name is (E)-3-methyl-3-propylpent-2-ene? Let's re-verify the longest chain:
- C1: rightmost methyl \(\text{-CH}_3\).
- C2: CH.
- C3: C attached to isopropyl and ethyl.
- If we go down: \(\text{-CH}_2\text{-CH}_3\) (ethyl, 2 carbons).
- If we go left: \(\text{-CH(CH}_3)_2\) (isopropyl, 3 carbons, but chain-wise it's 2 carbons: \(\text{-CH-CH}_3\) with a methyl branch).
- Let's trace the longest continuous chain containing the double bond:
- Start at right: C1 (\(\text{-CH}_3\)) - C2 (\(=\text{CH}-\)) - C3 (\(=\text{C}-\)) - C4 (\(\text{-CH}_2-\)) - C5 (\(\text{-CH}_3\)) [ethyl path]. This chain has 5 carbons (pent-2-ene).
- At C3, we have an isopropyl group \(\text{-CH(CH}_3)_2\).
- Let's check the other path: C1 (\(\text{-CH}_3\)) - C2 (\(=\text{CH}-\)) - C3 (\(=\text{C}-\)) - C4 (\(\text{-CH(CH}_3)-\)) - C5 (\(\text{-CH}_3\)) [isopropyl path]. This chain also has 5 carbons.
- Choosing the chain with more substituents: the pent-2-ene chain with an isopropyl group at C3 has 1 substituent (isopropyl). The other path also has 1 substituent (ethyl and methyls).
- Let's name it as a pent-2-ene derivative: 3-isopropylpent-2-ene.
- Let's determine \(E/Z\) for 3-isopropylpent-2-ene:
- C2: \(\text{-CH}_3\) (high) vs \(\text{-H}\) (low).
- C3: \(\text{-CH(CH}_3)_2\) (high, C attached to 2 C's) vs \(\text{-CH}_2\text{CH}_3\) (low, C attached to 1 C).
- The high priority gr…
