9.1 Naming Alkynes
9.1 Exercises

Questions

Q9.1.1

Name the following compounds:


Q9.1.2

How many isomers are possible for C5H8? Draw them.

Q9.1.3

Draw the following compounds:

A) 4,4-dimethyl-2-pentyne

B) 3-octyne

C) 3-methyl-1-hexyne

D) trans 3-hepten-1-yne

Q9.1.4

Do alkynes show cis-trans isomerism? Explain.

Solutions

S9.1.1

A – 3,6-diethyl-4-octyne

B – 3-methylbutyne

C – 4-ethyl-2-heptyne
D – cyclodecyne

S9.1.2

2 possible isomers

S9.1.3

S9.1.4

No. A triply bonded carbon atom can form only one other bond and has linear electron geometry
so there are no "sides". Allkenes have two groups attached to each inyl carbon with a trigonal
planar electron geometry that creates the possibility of cis-trans isomerism.
