Draw the structure of the following diene, 4-methyl-1,3-hexadine

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the main carbon chain**: The compound is named 4-methyl-1,3-hexadiyne, which indicates that the main carbon chain has six carbon atoms (hex-) and contains two triple bonds (diyne) at positions 1 and 3. ‖ ‖ 2 ⋮ **Determine the position of the triple bonds**: The numbering of the carbon chain starts from the end nearest to the first triple bond, which means the triple bonds are located between carbon atoms 1 and 2, and between carbon atoms 3 and 4. ‖ ‖ 3 ⋮ **Identify the substituent**: The name indicates a methyl group (-CH₃) is attached to the carbon chain. The number 4 indicates that the methyl group is attached to the fourth carbon atom. ‖ ‖ 4 ⋮ **Draw the structure**: Based on the information, the structure can be drawn with the main chain of six carbon atoms, two triple bonds at the specified positions, and a methyl group on the fourth carbon. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ H₃C-C≡C-C≡C-CH₂-CH₃ with a methyl group attached to the second carbon from the right (4th carbon of the main chain). ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Understanding IUPAC nomenclature is essential for drawing the structure of organic compounds. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The name "4-methyl-1,3-hexadiyne" provides all the information needed to draw the compound's structure, including the length of the carbon chain, the position of the triple bonds, and the location of the methyl substituent. ⚹◊What is the molecular formula of 4-methyl-1,3-hexadiene?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
