Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The name "cis-3-methyl-6-vinylcyclohexene" indicates that the methyl group and vinyl group are on the same side of the ring, i.e. they are cis. This means that structures III, IV, and V can be eliminated as they show trans relationship between the methyl and vinyl groups. Among the remaining choices (I and II), II is the correct structure as it has the methyl and vinyl groups on the same side (cis) and the methyl is attached to the third carbon while the double bond is on the 6th carbon.
