Answer:
6-ethyl-6,7-dimethyl-3-propylnonane
Explanation:
Step 1: Select the longest carbon chain.
The one with 9 carbons is the longest carbon chain. (Refer to the attached file)
So, this chain is the parent name.
Prefix for 9 carbons : Non-
Suffix used : -ane (Since all the carbons are singly bonded)
Parent name: Nonane
Step 2: Refer to side chains/branches now:
Branch 1: Ethyl on Carbon-6 (6-ethyl)
Branch 2: Methyl on Carbon 6 and 7 (6,7-dimethyl)
"di" because we have 2 methyl
Branch 3: Propyl on Carbon-3 (3-propyl)
While going along with alkyl side chains, we follow the alphabetic order.
So, The name of this compound is:
6-ethyl-6,7-dimethyl-3-propylnonane
[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
