ethyl propyl ketone condensed form

Question

ethyl propyl ketone condensed form

 

Answer 1

The proper and routine way to designate an internal carbonyl in a condensed formula is to put it in parentheses.

 

CH₂CH₂(CO)CH₂CH₂CH₃  You can think of it then as the following:

 

CH2CH2(C=O)CH2CH2CH3

 

Does that help? If you do this when it is an ether, you will get a violation of the octet rule and can rule that out. 

 

Right?

 

IUPAC name is better put as : 3-hexanone. 1) It's better not to insert locants into single functional group compounds, for the sake of ease of speech. 2) do not capitalize IUPAC names, unless it happens to be the first word in a sentence.

Answer 2

CH₃CH₂COCH₂CH₂CH₃  

 

Ethyl propyl ketone

 

IUPAC: Hexan-3-one

Answer 3

This is quite confusing at first but to decipher this, its two carbons on one side of the carbon containing the ketone and three carbons on the other side. Hope this helps.
