Chapter 19: Problem 46

When 2 -methylpropene is mixed with HI, 2 -iodo- 2 -methylpropane is produced. $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. Draw the structural formula for the }} \\\ {\text { organic reactant. }} \\ {\text { b. Draw the structural formula of the }} \\ {\text { product. }}\end{array}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The structural formula for 2-methylpropene is a three-carbon chain with a double bond and a methyl group at the second carbon. And the structural formula for 2-iodo-2-methylpropane is a three-carbon chain with a methyl group and an iodine atom both on the second carbon.

Step by step solution

Identify the Reactant's structure

Based on the IUPAC nomenclature, '2-methylpropene', it is known that propene is a three-carbon chain with a double bond and '2-methyl' indicates a methyl group (CH3) at the second carbon of the chain. Draw this structure.

Identify the Product's structure

The product is '2-iodo-2-methylpropane'. 'Propane' is a three-carbon chain, '2-methyl' indicates a methyl group (CH3) at the second carbon of the chain, and '2-iodo' shows the presence of an iodine atom (I) at the second carbon. Draw this structure.

Comparison

Compare these drawn structures to ensure that they match the nomenclature given in the question.
