CH3
The IUPAC nomenclature of the compound above is
A. 2-methylpent-4-ene
B. 4-methylpent-3-ene
C. 2-methylpent-3-ene
D. 4-methylpent-2-ene
The correct answer is D. 4-methylpent-2-ene ✅
Explanation:
The longest carbon chain has 5 carbon atoms → pent-
Number the chain from the end that gives the double bond the lowest number
From the left, the double bond is between C-2 and C-3 → pent-2-ene
There is a methyl (–CH₃) group on carbon 4
So the correct IUPAC name is 4-methylpent-2-ene.
