Hi all...first post, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot.
I'm a graduate student, but chemistry is not my strength.
I have to name a compound with the following properties:

7 carbon chain
Cl on second C
ethyl group on fourth C
methy group on fifth C
and a double bonded O on third C

I've gotten to 4-ethyl 5-methyl 3 heptanone--and that seems to be an actual compound (according to Google)
But when I try to add 2 chloro- to the name, it doesn't seem to be an actual compound. Maybe I'm grouping things incorrectly?
For context, I suspect it may be an environmental contaminant, as this is for a subsurface remediation class.

Any help naming the compound or helping me understand where I went wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Something like that?



Why do you expect the name to be googlable? There is an infinite number of compounds, assuming every one of them is present on the web is a bit optimistic.

Halogen substituent does not change numbering in correctly named ketone.

This compund can be found through Google but with wrong name!

Correct IUPAC name ends with ....methylheptan-3-one

Borek-- Yes, like that.
And maybe it was optimistic, but I'm working with environmental contaminates, not practice formulas, so I thought it would at least be known to the EPA or something. Thanks for replying.

AWK-- Thanks.
