Question:medium
The IUPAC name of the following alkane is \(CH_3-CH_2-CH(C_2H_5)-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_3\)
The IUPAC name of the following alkane is \(CH_3-CH_2-CH(C_2H_5)-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH_3\)
Show Hint
Always expand alkyl groups like \(C_2H_5\) mentally to make sure you've found the truly longest chain. In this case, the horizontal chain was the longest anyway.
