### Naming Organic Compounds: An Example

**Molecular Structure:**

The image depicts a structural formula of an organic compound. The chain represents a complex branched hydrocarbon with functional groups.

**Key Features:**

- **Carbon Chain**: The main chain is a zigzag line depicting connected carbon atoms.
- **Bromine Atoms (Br)**: Two bromine atoms are attached to the second carbon from the left, indicating halogen substituents.
- **Hydroxyl Group (OH)**: An OH group is present at the far right, indicating the presence of an alcohol functional group.
- **Branches**: There is a branch with two CH₃ groups (isopropyl group) near the hydroxyl group.

**Naming Strategy:**

1. **Identify the Longest Carbon Chain**: Count the number of continuous carbon atoms in the longest chain.
2. **Number the Chain**: Assign numbers to each carbon atom in the chain starting from the end nearest a functional group.
3. **Locate and Name Substituents**: Find substituent groups such as halogens or additional carbon groups, noting their positions.
4. **Combine the Names**: Assemble the name starting with the substituents in alphabetical order, followed by the longest chain with its corresponding suffix.

This systematic approach ensures accurate and standardized nomenclature for complex organic compounds.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Steps to name organic compounds: 

  1. Firstly, find and select the longest carbon chain that must include the primary functional group.
  2. Numbering is done in such a way that the primary functional group gets the least number followed by the secondary functional groups and other substituents.
  3. The prefixes are used to mention all the secondary functional groups and other alkyl substituents on the parent carbon chain with their respective position.
