This molecule doesn't seem to obey basic valency rules. Have you been given the carbon-oxygen skeleton for instance and tried to append hydrogens as necessary? Where have you seen the structure you have drawn?

I'd name it "made up
nonsense
" and if it was genuinely in a chemistry book then best you throw that book away for also being made up
nonsense

I am not being rude to you but the structure you have drawn does not exist therefore it can not be named because the naming rules only work for real molecules not made up
nonsense

Hint, the challenge about the structure was an invitation to correct it. Hydrogens are missing and one has an incorrect subscript. Q, what is the length of the longest chain?
