Question
i was studyiung hydro-carbon chapter and when i reached nomenclature part ,,,i reached naming ethene and i thought of adding one or more carbon in it......
)
i am sending the image of that hydrocarbon
i think that it's name is
1,1,4,4-tetrahydro-but-1-2-3-ene
Am i right ,,if not than please rectify me
The structure you drew is just 2-butene. Just like butane, the hydrogens are understood and not named. The 2 indicates the double bond is after the 2nd carbon. Note there is no 3-butene or 4-butene, since these are just 1- and 2-, just name from the other end.
