The IUPAC name of:

  1. 2 -methyl-3-bromo hexanal
  2. 3-bromo-2-methyl butanal
  3. 2 -bromo-3-bromo butanal
  4. 3-bromo-2-methyl pentanal

Correct answer: 2 -methyl-3-bromo hexanal

Solution

The parent chain must include the aldehyde carbon and be the longest possible, which gives a six-carbon aldehyde: hexanal. Numbering from the CHO carbon places the substituents at C2 and C3, giving 2-methyl and 3-bromo.
