4-ethyl-3,3,4,5-tetramethyl heptane

SIR0:
My dear NLers, I need you to tell me the IUPAC name of the compound shown below. Thanks

kovik 1-9

Corona heptane

Omoboricash:
3,4 di methyl, 2,3,4 tri ethyl pentane. The parent carbon is 5. While the methyl [CH3] attached to 3 and 4 parent carbon and ethyl [C2H5 attached to 2, 3, 4 parent carbon. I think I'm right, though it's been like 22 years ago I did Chem in my 100 level course . But organic chemistry was my best subject then.

you are wrong

Karleb:
The longest carbon chain here is 6. I don't know why you guys are saying 5 and 7.



2,3,4 - tri methyl, 2,3 - di ethyl hexane.

it is 7

Amotolongbo:
it is 7

I just saw it after using my glasses.

From its C-C single bonds and 6 carbon chains, its a hexane belonging to alkane group, it remains to attach the other C atoms in branches and name accordingly.

3,5 di-ethyl, 4 propyl hexane.

I love chemistry.

Amotolongbo:
you are wrong

Pls what's correct name. But remember the parent carbon is 5. Methyl CH3 and ethyl C2H5 attachech to parent carbon .

oh sorry. What you called the longest (parent) chain isn’t pentane but heptane.

You look at the longest continuous chain.
I’ve alre done that, check my first post (the third comment) on this thread. You will see the pictorial analysis of the longest chain

I disagree with you, the parent carbon is five not 6 or 7 as case may be. If you claim it was 6 or 7, where methyl and ethyl attached to parent carbon

I’m sorry o, what is the highest chemistry knowledge you have?

I’m asking you this to know where and how to start with you
