Give the IUPAC name of the following compounds: (CCl3)3CCl

Explanation:

We can easily predict the IUPAC naming step by step of the given compound (CCl3)3CCl or perchloric isobutane.

We have to find out the longest carbon carbon chain.

The longest chain contains three carbon atoms, so the root name is prop and has no double or triple bond so our primary prefix will ane. We can number the carbon atoms of the principal chain as follows.

Now we can find that at the second number of carbon atoms there is a trichloromethyl substituent attached with it.

The first and third carbon compound has six chloro substituents attached, three with each carbon.

There is one chloro substituent at second carbon,

So in total there are seven chloro substituents, therefore hepta is used as a suffix.

Final answer

2 – (Tricholoromethyl) – 1,1,1,2,3,3,3 – heptachloropropone
