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.
