    actually we start numbering by minimising the number of highest order addition, which is the isobutyl, if it gets same number regardless, then we try to minimise the sum of numbers, so i think it should be called

    5-(isobutyl)-5,6,6,7,8-penta-ethyl-8-methyl-decane (I am assuming hydrogen’s are present, just not represented, because that usually is the case)

    I may alo be wrong here, it has been 4 years since I have been required to do nomenclature myself





  • Most people have already written the most things, being passionate and explaining well, but for me it is - I do not interact much, if I dont have anything new to add, I usually don’t, If I got interested enough to comment, then I must have something to speak on it, and if no one else has (I first search for other comments, If I find same stuff, I just upvote their comment and move on) then I am past a threshold where I can write something long.
