Your welcome
Ethyne also known as Acetylene and is the simplest Alkyne belonging to Unsaturated Hydrocarbons. It contains triple bond between two carbon atoms in a molecule. Carbon atoms in Acetylene are sp Hybridized and has a linear shape with bond angle of 180° is present between C-C-H bonds. This compound is also called as Binary Compound because it is made up of two elements i.e. Carbon and Hydrogen. The terminal Hydrogen in Acetylene is slightly Acidic in nature, and this compound can donate terminal proton to any strong base. These compounds generally give Electrophillic Addition Reactions.
The image of the structure is attached in the image below.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct option is a.) 4-methyl-3-phenyl-3-pentenoic acid
<u>Explanation:</u>
Carboxylic acids are a type of functional group in organic chemistry that have the symbol '-COOH'. A suffix used for this functional group is '-oic acid'.
To name a compound, first look for the longest possible carbon chain.
As in the image attached below, the longest carbon chain has 5 carbon atoms. Thus, the prefix used will be 'pent-'
Also, a methyl substituent is present at the 4th position, a phenyl substituent is located at the 3rd position.
A double bond is also present at the 3rd position and a suffix '-ene' is used.
Hence, the IUPAC name for the given compound is 4-methyl-3-phenyl-3-pentenoic acid.
