Chapter 16, Problem 7PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of the given compound is to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Alkenes are organic compounds containing a carbon-carbon double bond.

Alkenes are named by using a prefix representing the number of carbon atoms present in the longest continuous chain containing double bond followed by an ending $-ene$ .

The longest continuous carbon chain is numbered from the end that gives a lower number to carbon atoms having a double bond. The location of the double bond is indicated before the name of the parent alkene.

The name of side chains along with their position on the parent chain is added as a prefix to the parent name.

Alkyl groups are obtained when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane. Their name is derived from the name of alkane, by replacing the ending $-ane$ by $-yl.$
