Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a compound with an -OH group at the second carbon, a -CH3 at the first carbon, and a total of 4 carbons, derive its IUPAC name.

💡 Hint: Think about where to place the locants and how to construct the final name.

Question 2

How would you name a compound with a triple bond between carbons 1 and 2 and a -Br as a substituent at carbon 3 within a six-carbon chain?

💡 Hint: Pay attention to both the position of the triple bond and the substituent to find the answer.
