\end{array}$

  • $3-$ ethyl $-2-$ hexene
  • B
    $3-$ propyl $-2-$ hexene
  • C
    $3-$ propyl $-3-$ hexene
  • D
    $4-$ ethyl $-4-$ hexene

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3-$ ethyl $-2-$ hexene
a
According to IUPAC:

Longest carbon chain consists of $6$ carbons. Hence, it is hexene.

Closet double bond from starting is from second carbon. hence it is hex-$2$-ene.

Now, ethyl group $C _2 H _5$ is attached at the third carbon from starting.

Hence it is $3$-ethyl-$2$-hexene.

Hence, IUPAC name is $3$-ethyl-$2$-hexene.
