Answer 2

Structure of given the compound

Step-by-step explanation:

Naming of alkyl halides  according to IUPAC rules:

1. Numbering of the alkyl chain in such a way that the halogen atom present in the compond  gets the lowest possible number.

• For eg, if we go from left to right, Chloro gets 4- position and if we go from right to left, it gets 3 - position so we have to choose 3- position.

        3-chloro-

2. If there are more than one halogen atom are present in the compound, then prefixes di, tri, tetra etc are used with specifying the position of the halogen atom.

3. If there are different halogen atoms, then the lowest number is given to halogen atom which comes first in the alphabetical order.

So, the IUPAC name of the given compound is, 3-chloro-4-methylhexane.

Structure of given the compound is given below
