Question
From among the constitutional isomers of C6H12, give the IUPAC name forthe following. (a) a derivative of cyclopentane (Think of derivative as being a moleculewith cyclopentane as the parent.)1
(b) a derivative of cyclobutane containingonly one branch.
2
Note: When there is only one substituent on a cycloalkane it isunderstood to be on carbon one, therefore you do not put1-branchnamecycloalkane (i.e., No locant is required.) If howeverthere are 2 substituents on the cycloalkane, you must provide 2locants regardless. (a) a derivative of cyclopentane (Think of derivative as being a moleculewith cyclopentane as the parent.)

Explanation / Answer
a. methylcyclopentane b. ethylcyclobutane draw out each original form and then add one branch to each.numbers are not needed when naming isomers with only onesubstituent
