That is the IUPAC name but I am having a heck of a time trying to locate a more general name for the compound so that I can research it in scientific journals.....possibly a more experienced organic chemist may be able to help? Thanks!

The IUPAC name is 6-methyl-4,6-bis(4-methylpent-3-enyl)cyclohexa-1,3-dienecarbaldehyde. I'm not sure if it was cut off in the title question.

I hope this one works! Thanks for all your help so far!

IT'S PROBABLY
NYLON-6,6
To the answerer above, this was responded to before the entire piece was plugged in. At least she had an educated guess and didn't need to cheat first like you. You still don't know...

That is a devil of a compound to find online; it is possible it doesn't have a common name. What I did was to plug in the base part of the compound without its substituent chains (cyclohexa-1,3-diene carbaldehyde) into the google search engine. There are only a few results, but it is possible you might be able to use this in a more specialized library search engine and get better results. I used all sorts of tricks to find various steroids with and without common names in journals back in the day (before this wondrous tool called the Internet); just use what you can find out about the base compound and you may find journals that cover its reactions; then you can follow these to find the one or ones you want. I hope that helps!
Edit: I found this index online that might help if you plug in the molecular formula instead of the name (that strategy might help in journals such as Chemical Abstracts, which, when I used to use them, were organized by formula rather than name in the indices): http://lb.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/static/index.html?ri=../contents/Lit
Also to the answerer below: interesting foray into the idea of nylon, but since the above compound has no nitrogen and is not a polymer, it couldn't be nylon.

Give us the full IUPAC name and maybe we can help
Edit:
Searching for the chemical by name did not bring anything up, I had to draw out the structure in PubChem's structure search. It doesn't look as if this chemical has a common name yet but it did list one link to Thomson Pharma ( http://www.thomson-pharma.com ), although you will probably have to register to get any information. The link to the PubChem page is http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?sid=16438175
Sorry I can't give you any other information. Hope this helps.

It's getting cut off both places. Put some spaces in it, to prevent it from being truncated.
