It did not work for me?
besides it cant be cis as cis does not account for multiple different side branches I would have said E-3-bromo-4-methylhex-3-ene
Try cis-3-bromo-4-methyl-3-hexene, it worked. It's the same thing SJB wrote
except hex-3-ene should be 3-hexene (by the quiz standards).
It can be named by cis but is not recommended by IUPAC with multiple substitution alkenes. This was already discussed and everyone agreed (3E)-3-bromo-4-methylhex-3-ene or E-3-bromo-4-methylhex-3-ene are the correct names for the molecule. For the quiz cis-3-bromo-4-methyl-3-hexene is correct, which is improper but not ambiguous. In other words you
could derive the compound from the name using cis-hex-3-ene skeleton.
This is wrong there are only 5 carbons not 7
Did you understand my reply "The carbon and hydrogens are there,
just implied. It's
not necessary to draw out every single carbon/hydrogen by it's symbol, with a non-mandatory exception when they are terminal/at the end." or did you simply choose to ignore it? Let me try to explain it visually...
Both molecules are hex-3-ene and both have molecular formula C
7H
