Give the IUPAC name for this alkane. 2,3-dimethyl-6-isopropylnonane Find the longest carbon chain in the molecule. Number the carbons in the main chain so that the substituents have the lowest possible numbers. Numbers are separated from other numbers by commas and numbers are separated from letters by hyphens. If there are more than one of any type of substituent, use the prefixes "di", "tri" etc. to indicate how many are present. Each must be given a number. Substituents should be presented in alphabetical order. Remember the "common" names for some of the side chains, isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl. The first two are alphabetized as "i" and the second two as "b". For the IUPAC Organic Nomenclature Rules, click on the link. Submit Answer You have entered that answer before Incorrect.
