We are given the following compound:
|
It is a disubstituted cyclopentane. According to the IUPAC rules, the substituents should be given the lowest possible locant. If multiple bond are present in the compound, the preference is given that bond and in the given compound, 1 double bond is present, so the priority is given to the ethyl group. Therefore, ethyl group is present at 1 position and methyl group is at 3rd position.
Hence, the name is of the compound is 1-Ethyl-3-methyl pentene
