Q. A hydrocarbon has molecular formula $X (C_{6}H_{6})$. Also, X has triple bonds as the only type of unsaturation, i.e., it has neither double bonds nor any ring structure. How many different $IUPAC$ name can be assigned to X?

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

The given formula of X indicates that it has two triple bonds (four degree of unsaturation). Hence, possible diynes are
