My questions is for number 9.. if you dont have the book the question compares 2-methylheptadecane to 8-Dodecen-1-yl acetate. Which one has more primary carbons?
I know 2-methylheptadecane has 3 but doest 8-Dodecen-1-yl acetate also have 3 primary Carbons? Isnt the sp2 hybridized carbon attached of the carbonyl also primary because it is attached to one other carbon?
