SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the nomenclature of 1,3-butadiene, emphasizing that the correct IUPAC name is but-1,3-diene. Participants confirm that the presence of two double bonds in the compound warrants the use of the "diene" suffix rather than "ede." The conversation highlights the importance of precise terminology in organic chemistry, particularly the distinction between "ene" and "ede" in naming conventions.

Is this

1,3 -butene?

or just plain butene?

It is actually 1,3-butadiene
 
So if there is two double bonds its di-"prefix"-ede ?
 
It is diene, no idea what you wrote - seems completely unrelated.

Technically correct IUPAC name is probably but-1,3-diene, but I am not going to pretend I am expert on organic nomenclature.

That is correct, 'ene' though, not 'ede'

Somehow I fail to see "prefix" between di and ene.

Yea completely fell asleep on that reply, prefix before diene.
 
Thanks, I understand now
