Jun 11, 2018 · (d) There are also two ways to attach the group derived from isobutane. You can attach it from one of the end carbons, in which case we call it an "isobutyl" group, or you can attach it from the center carbon, in which case it's "t-buty" or "tert-butyl" for "tertiary" butyl because the attachment carbon is a tertiary carbon.

Dec 5, 2016 · isobutyl. where branches define the common name as well. In the end my question is: What is the logic of using iso- prefix (especially in those cases), and how can i know when to use it? p.s- if you know the answer to my question, it …

Mar 31, 2022 · That carbocation might not be isobutyl cation. You should be able to see that such a cation would rearrange to the more stable, tertiary, tert-butyl cation with a facile hydride shift. You should identify the major product accordingly. Carbocation rearrangement is a significant issue with Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Jun 16, 2018 · According to the current version of Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations and Preferred Names 2013 (Blue Book), the prefixes “isobutyl” and “sec-butyl” etc. are no longer recommended (“isopropyl” is still retained, but only for general nomenclature).

Oct 24, 2017 · 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

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.

Dec 30, 2024 · A simple methyl shift will not get you from secondary to tertiary butyl cation. You need to combine it with a hydride shift in the opposite direction.

Apr 14, 2019 · The inductive effect of the methyl groups should help stabilize the carbocation formed from 1.The answer may be a bit clearer if you add equilibrium to your thinking.

Mar 26, 2019 · Other non-systematic prefixes have fallen from favour, most notably isopropyl, sec-butyl, and isobutyl. The preferred prefixes are respectively propan-2-yl, butan-2-yl, and 2-methylpropyl. The preferred prefixes are respectively propan-2-yl, butan-2-yl, and 2-methylpropyl.
