Question

According to the 1993 IUPAC recommendations, what is the correct IUPAC name for $NC-CH_2-CH(CN)-CH_2-CN$?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

If an organic compound contains more than two similar terminal groups directly attached to the principal chain, none of their carbons form a part of the principal chain. The 3-carbon parent chain is propane, and the three $-CN$ groups are indicated by the special suffix "carbonitrile". Thus, Propane-1,2,3-tricarbonitrile.
