The compound shown is one stereoisomer of 4-methylhex-2-ene drawn with wedges at C4 and a definite geometry at the double bond. Its complete descriptor is

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A

At the double bond, C2 carries over and C3 carries C4 over ; the drawing has these higher groups on opposite sides, so the bond is . At C4 the priorities are (C attached to C,C,C with duplication) (C,H,H) ; with away from the viewer the sequence runs clockwise, so C4 is . The compound shown is -4-methylhex-2-ene; it is one of stereoisomers.
