The naming of this compound is 2,3,5,6 tetramethyl-4-octane.
Hence, option (B) is correct answer.
What is Ketone ?
A ketone is functional group which contains the carbonyl group that is -C = O. The structure for ketone is R¹ - C = O - R² where R¹ and R² are alkyl group or aryl group.
How to naming a compound ?
- First we have to find the longest continuous carbon chain.
- Then identify and start naming the functional groups attached to the chain.
- Starting the numbering of a compound which is starting at the end nearest a group.
Here we can see that the longest carbon chain is Octane. And the functional group is here ketone so suffix is -one. Now starting the number from the left hand side. We can see that on 2, 3,5,6 positions methyl group is attached in this chain. On 4th position ketone group is attached.
So the naming of the ketone is 2,3,5,6 tetramethyl-4-octane.
Thus, from above conclusion we can say that the naming of this compound is 2,3,5,6 tetramethyl-4-octane.
Hence, option (B) is correct answer.
