« on: January 21, 2014, 06:39:59 AM »
How would i name a branch of an alkanes presented as a CH Group Attached to the longest carbon Chain wich is again Attached to two CH3 Groups? Will this be named as an overall Propyl Group branched of the parent hydrocarbon?

Perhaps what i am asking is about an isopropyl gropus, may that be accurate?
