2methyl-1-ethenyl cyclohexane?


well you've named the compound...
1 enthenyl group is CH=CH2 at a C1 in cyclohexane
2 methyl group is CH3 at C2 in cyclohexane.

But how to I show the double bond is between the cyclic group and not at the end of the chain? Thank you

there are no double bonds between between the C in the cyclohexane if thats what you mean.
the double bond is at the ethenyl group.
2methyl-1-ethenyl cyclohexane.

I mean the double bond could be in 2 positions in the ethenyl group how do I indicate which one?

The double bond between the carbons in the ethenyl group. Not between the C1 in cyclohexane and the C in ethenyl.
I forgot to upload the picture :facepalm:

Not there, the double bond goes next to that.

If the doible bond was where pic shows then bond angle will be 120 degrees with CH3 at the end. Which does not conform to the CH=CH2
