Hey everyone, we're asked what is the structure of the following? Al keen. So we have four metal 3 isopropyl to hack scene. Now let's break this down into components. Looking at our ending of any and this prefix of two, We know that we have a double bond at carbon # two. And this prefix of hex tells us that we have a six carbon chain as our longest chain. Now let's go ahead and look at our substitute prints for our substitue ints. We can see that we have a method at four and an isopropyl at three. Now let's go ahead and draw out our structure. So we have a six carbon chain as our longest chain And we have that double bond at carbon # two. And I'll go ahead and number this. So we have 1234, five and six. Now let's go ahead and draw out our substitue ints. So we have a methyl F4 And we also have an isopropyl at three. So this is going to be our final structure for our ALc in Now, I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
