Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5,6 -dimethyihept-2-ene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The longest chain contains 7 C-atom, so the root word is hept and suffix -ene is added for double bond along with its position. Since, two methyl goups are also present at 5 and 6 positions, so the correct IUPAC name of the compound is 5.6 -dimethylhept-2-ene.
