(I think my tabs broke that post. retrying...)
The question asks to determine the IUPAC name of a compound based on a diagram.
I would choose the name:
(Z)-5-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4-octadiene
However, this doesn't match any of the given choices. They are:
a.(Z,Z)-5-Ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctadiene
b.(E)-5-Ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctanadiene
c.(Z)-5-Ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctanadiene
d.(Z,Z)-5-sec-Butyl-2,4-dimethylheptanadiene
It looks like the closest answer is C. But:
What is the "na" in "nadiene"?
Why aren't the positions of these two double bonds specified?
could help but i can't find that diagram ur talking about
I was hoping you could envision the molecule given my estimated IUPAC name of:
(Z)-5-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4-octadiene
