Hi everyone 🙂

Is this the correct name for the compound that I've attached as a picture:


5-Methyl-5-Hexenal???



I indicated the double bond by changing "an" to "en" (as in propane vs propene) and the location of the double bond is between C5 and C6

Yes that is correct. Note that it can also be called 5-methylhex-5-enal
