Jun 11, 2018 · You could attach it from one of the end carbons, in which case we call it "n-butyl." Or you could attach it from one of the inner carbons, in which case we call it "sec-butyl" because the attachment point is a secondary carbon (instead of a primary carbon as it is in n-butyl). (d) There are also two ways to attach the group derived from isobutane.

In the IUPAC system the common names for t-butyl and s-butyl are still accepted. Usually the "t" from tert- and the "s" of sec- is not included in the alphabetic ordering of substituents. If you have

Jan 6, 2021 · By definition neoalkanes have two-times branching of methylgroup at second last carbon. But in no book which I could find, it is not alternatively named as neo-butyl. Is the definition right, or am I

Jul 23, 2016 · In Carey, Sundberg Advanced Organic Chemistry it is written: The relative slowness of the abstraction of protons from carbon acids by organolithium reagents is probably also due to the compact

Mar 25, 2016 · I've also seen them written simply as tBu, iPr, and nBu. They're abbreviations for tert-butyl, isopropyl, n-butyl (straight-chain), and cyclo-hexyl respectively. (Here are links for IUPAC References for non-cyclic and cyclic alkanes.) Substitution points on …

The LD50 of n-butanol adjusted for its intoxicating potency is about 1.5 times that of ethanol. This would mean to me that n-butanol is therefore 50 % safer than ethanol.

Jun 16, 2018 · This may be resolved by IUPAC Rule A-2.3(ii) which says "The name of a complex radical is considered to begin with the first letter of its complete name," which seems to suggest to me "sec-butyl" is considered to start with "s" and not "b" in this case.

Jun 5, 2021 · I'm confused as to where to place the positive charge on the different butyl cations. Going from left to right, the compounds are: isobutyl cation, n-butyl cation, and sec-butyl cation. Thank you so much!

May 7, 2017 · What type of structural isomerism exists between iso butyl alcohol and tertiary butyl alcohol? I think that there exists only positional isomerism between them but the source from where I am study...
