2-ethylpentane is no longer a pentane.

Oh, you mean, if you substantiate n-pentan. Yeah, I could have come to that.

But if you’re talking about the priorities, then the biggest rest comes first if anything else is the same.

No. Then the remainder in alphabetical order gets the smaller loedges. 2-butyl-3-methylbutanedioic acid, 2-methyl-3-propylbutanedioic acid.

You don’t have Ethy anymore. But if you’re talking about the priorities, then the biggest rest comes first if anything else is the same.

Ne, have to count from the other direction, as smaller numbers. Then 2.4 would not be 3.5.

So 3,5-dimethylhexane?

Okay, so, you don’t know if you’re supposed to call the mole of 2-ethyl-4-methylpentane or 4-ethyl-2-methylpentane. The names are both wrong. For an ethyl on 2. (or even 4.) It also means that your longest chain can’t be a Pentan. It must be a hexane.

Don’t be so rude. Besides, he’s right…

At the end of the ethyl side chain is C1.
