IUPAC name of the following is CH₂=CH-CH₂-CH₂-C≡ CH

IUPAC name of the following is $CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_2-C\equiv CH$
A 1,5-hexenyne
B 1-hexene-5-yne
C 1-hexyne-5-ene
D 1,5-hexynene

Detailed Solution

The chain has six carbons with one C=C and one C$\equiv$C bond, so it is a hexenyne.
When a double and a triple bond are at equivalent distances from the two ends, the double bond gets the lower number. Numbering from the C=C end: double bond at C-1, triple bond at C-5.
The ending '-ene' is written before '-yne'.
So the name is 1-hexene-5-yne (modern form: hex-1-en-5-yne).
