Some molecules I'm having trouble finding the prefered IUPAC name for. This must be exactly correct.

OpenStudy (kainui):

|dw:1396348953840:dw| (4E,2S)-5-cyclopentyl-2-methylhex-4-enenitrile Now I feel that the (4E,2S) should be simply (E,S) since they are obviously distinct from each other. However I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (kainui):

I found it! The answer is 6c on this page: http://quimica.udea.edu.co/~pipelion/organica1/iupac_rules_jce.pdf The numbers aren't only included, they're used to order them! It should be: (2S,4E)
