You simply misplaced the ethyl group. I mean it should be 3,4 diethyl hexyne. :) I believe that´s it. Well Thanks again, I´m learning from you dude.

[bannanaiscool]

@rafarodrisala Yep...3,4-diethylhex-1-yne, to be precise.

i think that the second carbon of the chain shouldn't have that ethyl because that would mean carbon is bonding 5 times instead of 4 plz get bak to me! thnx

Give the guy a break. When someone has an advanced knowledge of something it gets sort of hairy when they are trying to break down concepts that are already very basic and simple. It's easy to get tripped up in the detailed explanation...

[Zayin1993]

Beautiful.

[Mostdope101]

2,4-diethylhexyne at 2:40 minutes in is impossible because the second carbon from the right has 5 bonds.

[TheFrimond]

why do you call it buta-1,3-diene not but-1,3-diene?
