Answer:
The IUPAC name of the organic compound is :
2,6-Dimethyl octane
Step-by-step explanation:
How to name the compounds:
1. First, search for the longest carbon chain.Here 8-C chain is the longest chain.(Octane)
2. The numbering of Carbon is done such that the branched chain get minimum number.(From right side the -CH3 group less number[2] but from left side it get number [6] )(2,6-dimethyl)
3. If different alkyl chain are attached then naming is done in alphabetical order. Here -CH3 is the side chain appearing at position 2,6
4. If the identical groups are present then Their position numbers are separated by comma's. and prefix di ,tri , tertra is placed.
Here 2 methyl groups are present (-CH3)
So the name is 2,6-Dimethyl octane
