Correct answer: B
-
Interpret the structure of compound
From the options, the compound is clearly a bromo-substituted methyl alkene. We must assign the correct IUPAC name by following these rules:
- Choose the longest chain containing the double bond.
- Number the chain so that the double bond gets the lowest possible locant.
- Then assign substituent positions.
-
Select the parent chain
The longest chain containing the double bond has 4 carbon atoms.
So the parent hydrocarbon is but-2-ene or but-1-ene, depending on numbering.
-
Number the chain correctly
The double bond must get the lowest locant.
If the structure is numbered from the end nearer the double bond, the double bond comes at carbon .
Now compare the substituent positions:
- One substituent is bromo at carbon
- One substituent is methyl at carbon
Hence the name becomes:
-
Check the options
-
A: 4-Bromo-3-methylbut-2-ene
Incorrect numbering; substituents should get lower locants after fixing the double bond locant. -
B: 1-Bromo-2-methylbut-2-ene
Correct. -
C: 3-Bromo-3-methylprop-2-ene
Incorrect parent chain chosen; not the proper longest chain. -
D: 2-Bromo-2-methylbut-2-ene
Incorrect substituent position for bromine.
