    For anyone else who has the same question. It´s easier to see whether the molecule is trans or cis when you draw the hydrogen to the second and third carbon. If the hydrogens are both upwards it´s cis-2-butene, if one hydrogen is up and the other hydrogen is downwards, it's trans-2-butene.

  • @theunusedbrain3291

    You have chosen it right because according to the IUPAC rules - 1) The longest C-chain must contain double bond. 2) Longest C-chain must get maximum number of branches(try to get multiple number of branches rather than getting one complex branch or substituent). So, 2,5-dimethyl-3-propyl-hexene is the correct IUPAC name and 2-methyl-3-(2-methyl propyl)hexene is the incorrect one.

    For the very last question, do you need to use the E,Z system? They aren't different groups so cant you just use cis-trans?

  • @woodchuk1

    @woodchuk1

    3 жыл бұрын

    No, because the alkene is tetrasubstituted...there’s no way to tell what groups are cis or trans to the others. The two methyl groups are cis to each other, for example, but each of them is trans to the propyl groups, so which do you pick? So it has to be (Z)-4,5-dimethyl-4-octene. For trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted alkenes, the EZ system is required for unambiguity.

    Is this according to the newest IUPAC rules released? In class, we learned if there are no rings: the longest chain has priority regardless of the presence of multiple bonds, which is different from the older IUPAC rules. Do you think you can clarify?
