Use as base name with an ene or yne ending. two groups are said to be located cis to each other if they Number the chain to give lowest number for the two groups are said to be located cis to each other if they carbons of the double or triple bond. lie on the same side of a plane with respect to the double bond. Locate any branches on chain. Use base names with a yl ending. If they are on opposite sides, their relative position is described as trans. For multiple branch of the same type, modify name with di, tri, ... Show the location of each branch with numbers. List multiple branches alphabetically - the di, tri, ... don’t count..
