Solution

To answer this question, we need to identify the correct IUPAC name for the given cycloalkene.

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain that includes the double bond. In this case, it's a cyclobutene, which is a four-membered ring with a double bond.

  2. Identify the substituents. In this case, we have two ethyl groups.

  3. Number the carbons in the ring starting from one end of the double bond. The double bond gets the lowest possible numbers.

  4. Assign a number to each substituent according to its point of attachment. In this case, the ethyl groups are attached to the same carbon, so they both get the same number.

  5. Write the name as a single word. Use prefixes (di-, tri-, etc.) to indicate multiple identical substituents.

Given these rules, the correct name for the cycloalkene shown is 3,3-diethyl-1-cyclobutene.
