Question

What is the IUPAC name for a fully saturated compound consisting of a straight chain of 6 carbons attached to a single cyclobutane ring?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Since neither component has a PFG or multiple bonds, carbon count dictates the parent. The 6-carbon chain is longer than the 4-carbon ring, making the open chain the parent. The ring acts as a substituent at position 1.
