Question

Alkanes are called saturated hydrocarbons because each carbon atom has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms. In contrast, alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated because they contain double or atoms in the compound. When naming unsaturated hydrocarbons, a suffix reflects the type of multiple bond in the compound: ene is used for alkenes (double bond), and yne is used for alkynes (triple bond). For cyclic alkenes and alkynes, the ring is numbered such that the double or triple bond is between the first two carbon atoms. For straight-chain molecules, the numbering starts at What is the name of the compound shown here? (Figure 1) What is the correct name of the compound that is incorrectly named 1-chloro-3-pentyne?

Explanation / Answer

Answer is 3-methyl-1-butene

Explanation -

i) there is double bond in compound thus fuctional group is alkene.

ii) longest chain contain 4 carbon therefore parent name pentene

iii) numbering start from end which is near to double bond and double bond at no. 1 possition carbon therefore name of compound is 3-methyl-1-butene
