Problem: NAMING ALKENES Naming an alkene is similar to naming an alkane with a few differences. Find the longest carbon chain and change the “ane” ending to “ene”. If there is a tie between longest chains, choose the chain that gives the __________ substituents. Number the chain from the end closest to the double bond and provide a number for its location. Substituents will be named alphabetically and a number will accompany the location of their attachment. If more than one of a similar alkyl group is present then we must use numerical prefixes to describe the number of them. __________ – 2 __________ – 3 __________ – 4 __________ – 5
