Converting a Name into a Structure
Draw the structure of cis-3-heptene.
STRATEGY
The name 3-heptene indicates that the molecule has seven carbons (hept-) and has a double bond between carbons 3 and 4. The prefix cis- indicates that the two alkyl groups attached to the double-bond carbons lie on the same side of the double bond.
Step-by-Step
\begin{matrix} \qquad\overset{1}{C}H_3\overset{2}{C}H_2\qquad \qquad\qquad \overset{5}{C}H_2\overset{6}{C}H_2\overset{7} {C}H_3 \\ ╲ \quad \quad \quad \quad ╱ \\ 3 \ C=C \ 4 \\ \overset{╱}{H\ \ \ \ } \quad \quad \quad \overset{╲}{ \ \ \ \ \ H} \end{matrix} \quad \quad \quad \quad \text{cis-3-Heptene}
