MCQ
The $ IUPAC$ name of $C{H_3}C \equiv CCH\,{(C{H_3})_2}$ is
  • $4$ methyl$-2 $ pentyne
  • B
    $4, 4-$dimethyl$-2-$butyne
  • C
    Methyl isopropyl acetylene
  • D
    $2-$methyl$-4-$pentyne

Answer

Correct option: A.
$4$ methyl$-2 $ pentyne
a
$C{H_3}C \equiv CCH\,{(C{H_3})_2}$ is the required structure.

Now, we start numbering from the leftmost carbon as by doing that, the triple bond will be on $2^{nd}$ carbon.

Hence, the name of the compound will be $4$methyl-$2$-pentyne as there are $5$ carbons on the parent chain.

Hence, (a) is correct answer.
