How do you name the structure 2-bromo-4-hexene?

I think you have done it.

Explanation:

"2-bromo-4-hexene" -= H_3C-CHBrCH_2CH=CHCH_3. I think the name is unambiguous, and therefore would be accepted by most professors of organic chemistry. Of course, such a structure could generate geometric isomerism around the double bond and the chiral centre (which is where?).
