Concept introduction:
The longest carbon chain containing the triple bond to be chosen. Based on the name of the parent compound–the alkyne name ends with the suffix–yne. The chain is to be numbered from the end that gives the lowest number to the carbon in triple bond. Substituents are to be numbered according to their positions in the chain and listed alphabetically. The position of the triple bond is indicated by giving the number of the first alkyne carbon before the name of the parent name. If more than one triple bond is present, their positions are indicated with the suffixes -diyne, -triyne and so on.
