Name the following compound

CH3CHCH3
.....|...........
....CHBCH2CH2CH3

(on my screen there is a little box after the B that looks like there should be a subscript, but it's like my professor didn't put it in or something). Put the choices below together in order to form a name.

A) 1 F) methyl K) methane P) hexane
B) 2 G) propyll L) propane Q) chloro
C) 3 H) ethyl M) ethane R) bromo
D) 4 I) butyl N) butane S) iodo
E) 5 J) pentyl O) pentane T) fluoro

let's draw it like this (and that box is most likely a subscript "r")

CH3 - CH - CH3
... ... ..|
... .. ...CH - CH2 - CH2 - CH3
.. ... ...|
... ... ..Br

*******
the longest chain is

CH3 - CH
... ... ..|
... .. ...CH - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

with 6 carbons.. so this is going to be a hexane

CH3 - CH - CH3... <---- this is a 2-methyl
... ... ..|
... .. ...CH - CH2 - CH2 - CH3
... ... ..|
... ... ..Br.. <---- this is a 3 bromo

so this
3-bromo-2-methylhexane

so.. I suppose the answer is CRBFP
