Let's say I have a double bond between carbons 6 and 1 on a 6 carbon cycle (the numbering is imposed because of the positions of the suffix functional groups), is the bond numbered 1 or 6?
6 seems logical because it is not ambiguous (clearly if it starts on 6 it ends on 1), but usually you must minimize numbers (however numbering the bond 1 means there's ambiguity between it being between 1 and 2 and between 1 and 6).
I've tried finding the official rule but haven't managed to.
