Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct name for the compound is trans-3-ethyl-2,6-dimethyl-6-propyl-4-nonene. This is determined by identifying the longest chain of carbons (9 carbons) and numbering it from the end closest to the double bond. The substituents (ethyl, dimethyl, propyl) are then given the appropriate locants based on their position on the chain. The term "trans" is used because the two highest priority substituents (ethyl and propyl) are on opposite sides of the double bond.
