The correct Answer is:
To determine the IUPAC name of the given compound, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Longest Carbon Chain First, we need to identify the longest continuous carbon chain in the compound. Count the number of carbon atoms in the chain. - In the given compound, the longest chain consists of **8 carbon atoms**. ### Step 2: Number the Carbon Chain Next, we will number the carbon chain. The numbering should be done in such a way that the substituents (methyl groups in this case) get the lowest possible numbers. - Start numbering from the end of the chain that is closest to the first substituent. - The chain can be numbered as follows: 1. C1 2. C2 3. C3 4. C4 5. C5 6. C6 7. C7 8. C8 ### Step 3: Identify the Substituents Now, identify the substituents attached to the main carbon chain. - In this case, we have **three methyl groups** attached to the main chain. - The positions of the methyl groups are at C3, C4, and C6. ### Step 4: Write the Name of the Compound Now that we have the longest chain and the substituents identified, we can write the IUPAC name. - The substituents are listed in alphabetical order, but since they are all methyl groups, we will use the prefix "tri-" to indicate that there are three methyl groups. - The name will be structured as follows: - The positions of the substituents: 3, 4, and 6. - The substituent name: trimethyl. - The parent chain name: octane (since there are 8 carbon atoms). Thus, the IUPAC name of the compound is **3,4,6-trimethyloctane**. ### Final Answer: **3,4,6-trimethyloctane** ---
