The IUPAC name of the compound CH3CH=CHC CH is
- pent-4-yn-2-ene
- pent-3-en-1-yne
- pent-2-en-4-yne
- pent-1-yn-3-ene
Answer
(2) pent-3-en-1-yne
Solution
Numbering the main chain of five carbons from the end nearer the first multiple bond:
5CH3 4CH= 3CH 2C 1CH
⇒ locants of the multiple bonds = 1 (triple) and 3 (double); the other direction gives 2 and 4, which is higher.
∴ As per NCERT (IUPAC rules), '-ene' is written before '-yne' and the name is pent-3-en-1-yne.
Answer: (2)
