Question

1. Give the systematic (IUPAC) name for this molecule.

2. Lewisite (2-chloroethenyldichloroarsine) was once manufactured as a chemical weapon, acting as a lung irritant and a blistering agent. During World War II,British biochemists developed an antidote which came to be known as British anti-Lewisite (BAL) (2,3-disulfanylpropan-1-ol). Today, BAL is used medically to treattoxic metal poisoning. Complete the reaction between Lewisite and BAL by giving the structure of the organic product and indicating the coefficient for the numberof moles of HCl produced in the reaction.

(? before HCL means you need to provide the number of moles for HCl)

Answer 1

1-Pentanethiol is IUPAC name but the common name is Pentylmercaptan. I got it right.
