`C_(6) H_(12)` is an alkene. Oxidation of `C_(6) H_(12)` to acetic acid (`CH_(3)COOH`) and isobutyric acid (`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH COOH`) establishes ita hond at C-2 as shown below:
`underset("ACetic acid")(CH_(3)COOH)+ HOOC-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CH_(3) overset(O)larr CH_(3)CH= CHunderset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CH_(3) overset(Br_(2))to CH_(3)- overset(Br)overset(|)CH-overset(Br)overset(|)CH-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)CH-CH_(3)`
IUPAC name of X : 4:Methylpent-2-ene
