aaronq · Answer

um i think it's $cis$-1-bromo,3-chloro,4-isopropyl-hept-3-ene

anonymous · Answer

no, thats not it :/ @aaronq

aaronq · Answer

are you using cis/trans or Z/E ?

anonymous · Answer

it could be either or, the question is generic @aaronq

kainui · Answer

Perhaps instead of using isopropyl you should name that alkyl substituent as:

4-(1-methylethyl)-

Also, names don't have commas in them like that @aaronq but you might have some if it was like 2,2-dibromohexane or something.

aaronq · Answer

lol wow. facepalm. i haven't named organic molecules in so long that messed up on the format. thanks for the reminder on my misuse of the commas, @Kainui.

kainui · Answer

All good haha, I make mistakes all the time too. I mean, in all honesty it's really more important that you can read them and draw the structure from the name which is a lot easier and useful to do.
