Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

trans-1,3-dibromocyclopentane

   

The cyclopentane ring is the parent chain; either bromine-bearing carbon could be carbon #1; the stereochemistry is trans.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

cis-1-isopropyl-3-methylcyclohexane

   

 

The cyclohexane is the parent; the isopropyl group is bonded to carbon #1 since iso is alphabetically before methyl.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

(cyclopentylmethyl)cyclopentane

   

 

Either cyclopentane ring is the parent; the cyclopentylmethyl group is simply a substituent.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

2,2,5-trimethylheptane

   

 

The heptane chain is the parent; the lowest number sequence is generated with the two methyl groups bonded to carbon #2.
Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

trans-1-chloro-2-methylcyclopropane

   

 

The cyclopropane is the parent; carbon #1 bears the chlorine and the stereochemistry is trans.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

trans-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane

   

 

The cyclobutane chain is the parent; the two methyl groups are bonded 1-3, relative to each other, and the stereochemistry is E or trans.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

hexylcyclooctane

   

 

The cyclooctane ring is the parent (8 carbons) with the hexyl residue bonded to carbon #1.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

cis-1-methyl-3-nitrocyclopentane

   

 

Note: Nitro groups are entered with two double bonded oxygens on the nitrogen (a pentavalent nitrogen).

The cyclopentane ring is the parent; the methyl- has higher priority than the nitro-group alphabetically and the stereochemistry is cis.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane

   

 

The cyclohexane is the parent; the two bromines are 1,2 relative to each other and the stereochemistry is trans.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structures of the following compound:

5-bromo-1-cyclobutyl-2-methylpentane

   

Because the sidechain has a longer hydrocarbon chain than the ring, the pentane is the parent. Substituents on the pentane chain are therefore a cyclobutyl at carbon #1, a methyl at carbon #2 and a bromine at carbon #5. The numbering sequence is selected to give the lowest number sequence at the first point of difference (i.e., 1,2,5 is a lower sequence than 1,4,5).
That is correct!
Sorry, that is not correct. You should modify your structure and try again. If cis- trans- stereochemistry is required, please make sure you have drawn the appropriate isomer using "wedge bonds".
You have to enable Java and JavaScritpt on your machine !
