Title: structure of aldehyde attached to ring containing ketone and alkene group
Post by: 12pearls on March 16, 2013, 01:53:19 AM

We can't agree on the proper IUPAC name for this compound.
Is it 2-(5-cyclopenten-2-onyl)-2-hydroxyethanal or
2-(4-cyclopentenone)-2-hydroxyethanal?
Your suggestions are appreciated.
