The IUPAC name of 
is :
is :- 3, 4-dimethylpentanoyl chloride
- 1-chloro-1-oxo-2, 3-dimethylpentane
- 2-ethyl-3-methylbutanoyl chloride
- 2, 3-dimethylpentanoyl chloride
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
This is an acyl chloride group, and the numbering begins with the C=O group. As a result, the main carbon chain contains five carbon atoms. Therefore, the IUPAC name is 2,3-dimethylpentanoyl chloride.
So, the correct option is (D): 2, 3-dimethylpentanoyl chloride

Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Organic Chemistry is a subset of chemistry dealing with compounds of carbon. Therefore, we can say that Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds and is 200-225 years old. Carbon forms bond with itself to form long chains of hydrocarbons, e.g.CH4, methane and CH3-CH3 ethane. Carbon has the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds quite elaborately. Polymers like polyethylene is a linear chain where hundreds of CH2 are linked together.
