Answer

Decahydronaphthalene (or Decalin)\text{Decahydronaphthalene (or Decalin)}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

  1. Analyze the chemical structure.

    The image displays a chemical structure composed of two fused six-membered rings. Each ring is saturated, meaning it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms and is fully hydrogenated. This indicates that the basic structure is two cyclohexane rings fused together.

  2. Determine the common and systematic names.

    A compound consisting of two fused cyclohexane rings is commonly known as decalin. Its systematic name is derived from naphthalene (two fused benzene rings) by indicating full hydrogenation, hence "decahydronaphthalene." The partially visible text "Decahydr" in the image confirms this.

    The name of the compound is:

    Decahydronaphthalene (or Decalin)\text{Decahydronaphthalene (or Decalin)}
