Vanpascore:
3 - ethyl - 5 - methylheptan - 2 - thiol

I think I'm going to agree with you on this cos I got something similar.

Yewandequeen:
Where is the Op?

How can your carbon-3 carry 3hydrogens when you already have other attached bonds? And carbon 2&5 also has extra bond. Carbon can only carry 4 bonds. This compound is wrong.

With the right no of bonds

3-Ethyl-5-Methylhept-2-thiol

which of the carbon 3?

Amuocha:
Wait let me call Dominique sef

are you not a chemical student

Premiumwriter:

Carbon 3. Already has 3bonds then you still added 3-hydrogens.
Check the image I attached then you will get what I pointed out.

Premiumwriter:

I only use chemicals

Kimmyslaw:
3,5 Di ethyl, 3 methyl pentane

Wait sir,

Is it right if we separate the top ethyl group from C2H5 into CH2-CH3?

This will elongate the chain into a hepta

What do you think?

Yewandequeen:

I've seen your image, just can't figure out the part you're referring to.

I think the bond counts are right or maybe you can number the chain and take the picture again let's see.

Modified:
Just saw the thing, it should have been a CH2 and not CH3.

My mistake.

Amuocha:
I only use chemicals

oya na. Just Sidon and observe.

Why do I have a nagging feeling this compound has issues.


Anyway 3 ethyl

Yea that's what I was trying to point out.

Yewande and Van did perfect. Mehn I need to brush up my skills.

Oh sorry
@Premiumwriter u hear me so

double post.

You're sure you're tagging the right pewsin

2-ethyl-1,4-dimethylhexanethiol.
I ignored all the errors in the multiplicity of carbon.

lobell:
2-ethyl-1,4-dimethylhexanethiol.

Nope. Thiol which is the SH needs to be linked with the atom that bonds it to the longest carbon chain hence 2 thiol has to end it.

Yewandequeen:

You are wrong in your numbering. The carbon carrying the functional group (C2 in your diagram) is carbon-1. The methyl group in your diagram labelled C1 becomes a substituent.

Cheers.

kunleweb:

why you dey vex. Is it bad if you buy me lunch on his behave? Don't all guys say you are blood?

I get where you are coming from. Actually the compound can have several names including 3-ethyl-5-methylheptan-2-thiol which in hindsight looks more appropriate.

it could also be called. 3-ethyl-5-methylheptylmercaptan

modified:
This is wrong.
or 3-ethyl-5-methylmercaptoheptanol

I disagree

The attached group is - SH not an hydroxyl - OH even though they share same family.

lobell:

see i don do. I no dey check anything again na food dey on my mind. OP Carry go school come back and tell us which is correct. It's been 7yrs I last did this.

Yewandequeen:

The 'mercapto' prefix tells us that the O-atom in the alcohol has been replaced by an S-atom.

So you have mercapto ethanol used to denature proteins before Gel separation.

don't you think the position of the thiol should be stated in the naming
