Is my IUPAC naming on this correct?
« on: October 27, 2010, 07:32:59 PM »
I am having trouble coming up with the accurate IUPAC nomenclature for the following molecule. 



The name that I came up with on my own was "1,3-dicyclohyxyl-2-methylpropane"

I downloaded two different programs to check and they both gave different names...they were

  [2-(cyclohexylmethyl)propyl]cyclohexane
and
  1,1'-(2-methylpropane-1,3-diyl)dicyclohexane

Anyone out there who can help figure out how it should be properly named and/or why?

Thanks so much!
