1 answer:
The name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.
<h3>Nomenclature of Organic compounds</h3>From the question, we are to determine the name of the given molecule.
To name the compound, we will follow the IUPAC rules.
Some of IUPAC rules are
- Find the longest continuous carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain.
- For Alkenes (organic compounds with double bond), number the chain of carbons that includes the C=C so that the C=C has the lower position number. Change “ane” to “ene” and assign a position number to the first carbon of the C=C.
The given compound has 8 carbons and a double bond. The root name of the compound is octane.
By <u>IUPAC rules</u>, the compound is an <u>Octene</u>.
Since the double bond is between carbon-1 and carbon-2. The compound becomes 1-octene.
Hence, the name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.
