Answer
4,4-dimethylhex-2-yne.
Work Step by Step
1. Find the parent chain and were we should start couting the carbons:
- The parent chain will be everything but the 2 groups of 1 carbon. (It has to contain the triple bond and be as large as possible.)
- We should start counting the carbons from the left, since the triple bond is closer to this side.
2. Functional group:
- There are no functional groups: "e".
3. Insaturations and number of carbons on the parent chain:
- Triple bond on carbons 2 and 3: "2-yn"
- 6 carbons in the parent chain: "hex"
4. Substitutents:
- 2 methyl groups on carbon 4: "4,4-dimethyl"
5. Stereoisomerism:
- No stereoisomerism (It doesn't have double bonds.)
6. Put them all together:
4,4-dimethylhex-2-yne
