methylpropane and methylbutane

2011-10-30 8:09 pm
as methylpropane has only one way to draw, we don't need to name it as 2-methylpropane. however, isn't methylbutane has one way to draw too? why my textbook name it as 2-methylbutane?

They are all structural isomerism.

我看錯題目了:
You mean methylbutane has only one way to draw, so 2-methylbutane is not accpetable.
Yes, you are right. Since no matter how the methyl group stick on any carbon atom, there are only two compounds formed: pentane or methylbutane.

In exam, 2-methylbutane MAY be accepted as answer.

Yes, The correct name SHOULD be methylbutane.
Your textbook is not correct.

In fact, for IUPAC, the MOST correct name is Isopentane , but in exam, you should write methylbutane

In fact,2-methylbutane is also acceptable.
