Q. 11.30 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Give the IUPAC name for each of the following, using cis or trans prefixes, if needed:

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Part(a) IUPAC name is $cis-2-pentene$

Part(b) IUPAC name is $trans-2-heptene$

Part(c) IUPAC name is $trans-3-heptene$

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We are given structure of compounds. We need to write their IUPAC name.

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As we can see there are five carbons in main chain so we will use "pent". it also contain double bonds so name will end with "ene".

We can see bulkier group on same side of double bond so we will use "cis" in prefix. Therefore,

IUPAC name is $cis-2-pentene$

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We are given structure of compounds. We need to write their IUPAC name.

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

As we can see there are seven carbons in main chain so we will use "hept". it also contain double bonds so name will end with "ene".

We can see bulkier group on opposite side of double bond so we will use "trans" in prefix. Therefore,

IUPAC name is $trans-2-heptene$

Part(c) Step 1 : Given information

We are given structure of compounds. We need to write their IUPAC name.

Part(c) Step 2 : Simplify

As we can see there are seven carbons in main chain so we will use "hept". it also contain double bonds so name will end with "ene".

We can see bulkier group on opposite side of double bond so we will use "trans" in prefix. Therefore, 

IUPAC name is $trans-3-heptene$
