The preferred IUPAC name is the systematic name 2,2-dimethylpropane, but the substituent numbers are superfluous because it is the only possible “dimethylpropane”. A neopentyl group attached to a generic group R. A neopentyl substituent, often symbolized by "Np", has the structure Me 3 C–CH 2 – for instance neopentyl alcohol (Me 3 CCH 2 OH
To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple ...
Neopentyl alcohol can be prepared from the hydroperoxide of diisobutylene. [3] It can also be prepared by the reduction of trimethylacetic acid with lithium aluminium hydride . Neopentyl alcohol was the first described in 1891 by L. Tissier, who prepared it by reduction of a mixture of trimethyl acetic acid and trimethylacetyl chloride with ...

The main structure of chemical names according to IUPAC nomenclature. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has published four sets of rules to standardize chemical nomenclature. There are two main areas: IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry (Red Book) IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry (Blue Book)
