Document Summary
Chapter 3 notes part 4: an introduction to organic compounds. The prefix tert can be used for both tert-butyl and tert-pentyl compounds because each of these substituent names describes only one alkyl group. The name tert-hexyl cannot be used because it describes two different alkyl groups. Notice that an iso group has a methyl group on the next-to-the-last carbon in the chain. Also notice that all isoalkyl compounds have the substituent (oh, cl, nh2, and so on) on a primary carbon, except for isopropyl, which has the substituent on a secondary carbon. Thus, the isopropyl group could have been called a sec-propyl group. Either name would have been appropriate because the group has an iso structural unit and a hydrogen has been removed from a secondary carbon. Chemists decided to call it isopropyl, however, which means that sec is used only for sec-butyl.
