Give the IUPAC name for the following compound

3–bromo–5–chloro–4–methylhexane.

Explanation:

To name the compound given in the question, the following must be observed:

1. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound. In this case, the longest chain is carbon 6 i.e Hexane.

2. Identify the substituents attached. In this case the substituents attached are:

a. Chloro i.e Cl.

b. Bromo ie Br.

c. Methyl i.e CH3.

3. Give the substituents the lowest possible count alphabetically. Bromo comes before Chloro alphabetically, so we shall consider bromo first. Their positions are given below:

Bromo i.e Br at carbon 3

Chloro i.e Cl is at carbon 5

Methyl i.e CH3 is at carbon 4

4. Combine the above to get the name of the compound.

Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3–bromo–5–chloro–4–methylhexane.
