Benzene

3-dimethyl, 4-ethyl, 5-ethyl,6-dimethyloctane

looks like shorthand for my face, my brain no even carry books again but just to count money

My chemistry is a bit shaky but that should be 2,5-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraethyl-hexane.

3,6tetramethyl-4,5,6triethylheptane

That's Mr ameachi opara compound in orlu local government IMO state

That's the compound we'll be sending Buhari back to come 2019. It's located somewhere in Daura, Katsina state

4,5,6-triethyl-3,3,6,6-tetramethylheptane

Or

3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-4,5,6-triethylheptane

For the first, I wrote ethyl before methyl based on preference in alphabet: e before m

For the second, I wrote methyl before ethyl based on preference in substituent: methyl is first substituted at the 3rd position before the first ethyl in 4th position.

2,3,4-triethyl-2,5,5-trimethyl heptane

2,3,4 -triethyl-2,5,5- trimethyl heptane

Arranged in the iupac nomenclature way, alphabetically.

2, 3, 4 tri ethyl, 2, 5, 5 trimethyl heptane

where is my recharge card.
Analysis:
The longest cabon chain is heptane, the attachment must b in alphabetical order, the ethyl attachments are on 2rd, 3rd and 4th positions, and the methyl attachments are on 2rd, 5th and 5th positions on the heptane chain.

3,6 dimethyl- 4,5 ethyl-octane

Truenaija sincerely appreciate all who took their time to post answers, we are aware it's not because of the little token we promised.
After going through all the answers, we were able to pick one perfectly correct answer which was submitted by Jibril Muhammad and we have decided to reward him with N400. There were 9 other persons who came very close, they made little errors, in naming organic compounds, commas and hyphens must be properly used, some persons spaced the parent name(octane). The name of the compound in accordance with IUPAC nomenclature is
4,5-diethyl-3,3,6,6-tetramethyloctane.
Special recognition to those who got 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-4,5-diethyloctane, well done.
If you are one of the persons listed, kindly send your phone number and network to us via private message.
