Solution

To determine the name of the alkene in question, we typically follow the IUPAC naming conventions. However, without the specific structure of the alkene, I can guide you through the process of identifying it based on typical features of alkenes and their names.

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain that includes the double bond.
  2. Number the carbon chain from the end closest to the double bond to give the lowest possible numbers to the double bond and any substituents.
  3. Identify substituents on the main chain.
  4. Use the appropriate naming conventions for alkenes, including the position of the double bond and the names of any substituents.

Given the choices:

  • A. methylpentene
  • B. 2-methylpentene
  • C. 4-methylpentene
  • D. 2-methyl-2-pentene
  • E. 4-methyl-3-pentene

Conclusion

To accurately identify which name applies, I would need to view the structure of the alkene in question. If you can provide that, I can help determine the correct answer. Otherwise, please review the structure alongside the naming conventions to match it to one of the given options.
