Write the IUPAC substitutive name of the major product when 1-ethylcyclopentene reacts with:

a) HI
b) HBr in the presence of peroxides
c) H2O/ H2SO4 (dilute sulfuric acid)

I can manage to draw out the reactions and I'm pretty sure I have a) right but I'm not sure how to write out the name?

1-ethyl-iodinecyclopentane? I'm not sure how to put the Iodine in the name, do I drop the ne? so it's 1-eithyl-iodicyclopentane?

If someone has any idea I would appreciate any help I haven't used any of my 3 submissions yet.

Thanks guys...

Unfortunately 1-ethyl-iodocyclopentane is not the correct answer for #1

^ Are you having the same problems?

10/1/2006 7:10:12 PM

i am having the same probs....got that iodine problem yet?

10/1/2006 8:09:43 PM

nevermind, used all submissions for that one

10/1/2006 8:15:22 PM

bttt, can anyone provide any useful info for B or C? any help would be appreciated i donthave but 1 submission for each

10/1/2006 8:58:08 PM

1-ethyl-2 bromocyclopentane for B since the HBR would open the double bond and the peroxides would make the Br bond anit-markov

H20 and H2SO4 would break the double bond and make an alcohol, i think...so like 1ethyl cyclopentanol.

But I'm not 100% sure.
