Write the IUPAC name of the following alkyne compound
Correct answer: B. 3-Methyl-1,4 heptadiene
- A. 3-Methyl-1,4 heptyne
- B. 3-Methyl-1,4 heptadiene
- C. 5-Methyl-3,6 heptyne
- D. 5-Methyl-3,6 heptadiyne
Explanation
The correct IUPAC name for the given compound is 3-Methyl-1,4 heptadiene. This is because it is a 7-carbon compound with two carbon-to-carbon double bonds at carbon 1 and 4, along with a methyl group at carbon 3. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they misidentify the compound as an alkene and provide incorrect bond information.
