    3-bromo-3-methyl-1,2-dimethylprop-1-ene

  2. b

    3-bromo-1,2-dimethylbut-1-ene

  3. c

    2-bromo-3-methylpent-3-ene

  4. d

    4-bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene

Correct Answerd

4-bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene

Detailed Solution

Step 1: Longest Carbon Chain with Double Bond The longest chain containing the C=CC=C bond has 5 carbons (Pentene).

  • Step 2: Numbering Numbering starts from the end closer to the double bond: C1C2=C3C4C5C1-C2=C3-C4-C5.
  • Step 3: Identifying Substituents
  • C3 has a methyl group.
  • C4 has a bromine atom (4-bromo).
  • Double bond is at C2.

Step 4: Conclusion Name: 4-bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene.

Answer: (d) 4-bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene\boxed{\text{Answer: (d) 4-bromo-3-methylpent-2-ene}}
