What is the correct IUPAC name of the compound CH3CH=CHCH=CHCOOH?(a) Hexenedioc acid(b) Hexa-2,4-dienoic acid(c) Penta-1,3-dienioc acid(d) Pentenedioc acidI have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Nomenclature and Structure of Carboxyl Groups topic in section Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) Hexa-2,4-dienoic acid

To explain I WOULD say: The COMPOUND consists of six CARBON atoms including the carboxyl carbon thus, it is a derivative of hexanoic acid. The only substituents are two double bonds at the second and FOURTH carbon considering that the carboxyl carbon is the number one.
