Work Step by Step

1. Find the parent chain and where we should start counting the carbons: - Since there are no bifurcations, the parent chain will have all carbons. - We should start counting from the left, because the double bond is closer to this side. 2. Functional group: - No functional group: "e". 3. Insaturations and number of carbons on the parent chain: - 1 double bond on the carbons number 2 and 3: "2-en" - 8 carbons in the parent chain: "oct". 4. Substitutents: - 1 Chloro on the carbon number 5: "5-chloro" - 2 Methyls on the carbons number 5 and 6: "5,6-dimethyl" - 1 Fluoro on the carbon number 6: "6-fluoro" **Dont forget to alphabetize it: "5-chloro-6-fluoro-5,6-dimethyl" 5. Stereoisomerism: - 2 opposite hydrogens on the carbons with the double bond: "(trans)" 6. Put them all together: (trans)-5-chloro-6-fluoro-5,6-dimethyloct-2-ene
