Chapter 9.1, Problem 2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and structures of seven isomeric alkynes with molecular formula C₆H₁₀ are to be given.

Concept introduction:

The longest carbon chain which contains the carbon-carbon triple bond is chosen. The chain is numbered from the end that gives the lowest number to the carbon in triple bond. Compounds with more than one triple bond are called diynes, triynes and so forth. Compounds containing both double bond and triple bonds are called as enynes. The chain is numbered from the end nearer to the first of the multiple bonds, double or triple. When there is a choice in numbering the double bond is given preference and the lowest number is given to it.

To give:

The name and structures of seven isomeric alkynes with molecular formula C₆H₁₀.
