Step 1. Identify the two groups named. 'Methyl' names a -CH3 group; 'vinyl' names the -CH=CH2 group (the common name for the ethenyl/vinyl substituent).

Step 2. Assemble as an ether. The common-ether-naming convention (section 11.3.3) joins the two named groups through an oxygen: vinyl-O-methyl, i.e. CH2=CH-O-CH3.

✓Final answer

CH2=CH-O-CH3
