I have 2 questions, and this is my webassignment and if I make like a simple little mistake, my answer will be wrong and out of 3 submissions I already used up 2...
1. 2-Ethyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohexanol is treated with thionyl chloride. Provide the substitutive name of the major organic product.
my ans: 1-choro-2-ethyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane
but something is wrong with it?? can somebody find it??
3. 3,3,5-triethyl-5,6-dimethylcycloheptanol is treated with phosphorus tribromide. Provide the substitutive name for the product of this reaction.
my ans:
6-bromo-1,1,3-triethyl-3,4-dimethylcycloheptane
but this is wrong too..
(RESPONSE FORMAT: in your response use all small-case letters, place one comma between adjacent numbers, use dashes between numbers and names and between names and numbers.)
Thanks..
