Chapter B, Problem B.21P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure for $\text{hex-2-ene}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

In the case of molecules containing a $\text{C=C }$ or a $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$, the longest continuous carbon chain or largest ring that contains the double or triple bond is considered as the root. The root is named from the name of the analogous alkane or cycloalkane by replacing the suffix ane by ene, if a double bond is present. The suffix ane is replaced by yne if a triple bond is present.

If the root is a chain, numbering begins from that end of the chain which encounters the $\text{C=C }$ or $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$ at the earliest. If there is a tie, then the chain is numbered such that the substituents get the lowest locator numbers.

If the root is a ring, then the double or triple bonded carbon atoms are designated as C1 and C2. This must be done such that the locator numbers for the substituents, are minimized. The lower of the two locator numbers for the $\text{C=C }$ or $\text{C}\equiv \text{C}$ is written before the ene or yne suffix. Prefixes and locator numbers are used for the substituents attached.
