Name and write the structures of all isomers of the propyl and butyl alkyl groups.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Isomers havingPropyl side chains are propyl and isopropyl.

Isomers having butyl side chains are butyl, isobutyl,and sec-butyl.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Definition of Isomers

Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but distinct atom configurations in space.

02

 Step 2: Structure and the IUPAC names
