Use IUPAC rules, http://butane.chem.uiuc.edu/cyerkes/Chem104A_BFA05/Genchemref/nomenclature_rules.html Although this link shows you how to go from compound to name, you should be able to use it to figure out how to go from name to compound.

mphetang · Answer

thanks guys, so between the methyl substituents and the double bonds, which one has priority over the other???

australopithecus · Answer

You use the suffix ene when denoting a double bond in a molecule. The question you are asking is wrong, priority does not exist between the two. Substituents always get denoted at the start of the molecule in alphabetic order.
