The correct answer for 3a (ii) is
1-bromo-2,3-dimethylCYCLOpentane
it is NOT 1-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane. The mistake in the posted answer is that the "cyclo" part is missing. Thanks, Elizabeth, for catching that!

shouldn't it be 3-bromo-1,2-dimethylcylcopentane?
ReplyDeleteWhen there is more than one substituent, you should start numbering at the substituent that comes first alphabetically. Therefore Bromo comes before Methyl, because B comes before M.
