Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The longest carbon chain in the compound is a cyclohexane with two substituents - an isopropyl group (attached at position 1) and two methyl groups (attached at positions 2 and 4). Since the isopropyl group has higher priority than the methyl groups, it is named first in the name. The rest of the name is based on the numbering of the carbon chain, giving priority to the lowest numbers for the substituents. Therefore, the correct IUPAC name is 1-isopropyl-2,4-dimethylcyclohexane.
