CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2COOLi

Explanation is in the attached image.

CH3 step-1: First identify the parent chain Clongest chain . containing carbon atoms) Step 1: Assign root word based on the no. of carbon atoms - present in the parent chain. In the above example parent chain is - Hq -CH2-CH-CH₂-9000 Number of carbon atome is five, root world is pent. slep. Check for the functional group present in the chain & give the numbering to carbon atoms from the end of functional group ie, functional group attached carbon should get heast number posible & assign suffie based on the functional group. HE H & H - Ertz-colo CH3 suffie- oate Here methyl group at 3rd position considered as substituent IUPAC Name is Lithium 3-methyl pentanoate
