Answer: 8-chloro-3,6-diethylnon-4-yne

Explanation:

  1. Identification of Parent hydrocarbon:
    From longest carbon chain rule, we have nonane as parent structure.
  2. Identification of Parent functional group:
    From functional group priority, the alkyne is parent functional group so nonane changed into nonyne.
  3. Identification of side-chain group:
    Except than parent nonane, there is two ethyl group which is the side-chain group i.e. diethyl.
  4. Identification of remaining functional group:
    There is one more functional group halide i.e. chloride.
  5. Identification of double/triple bonds:
    Parent functional group alkyne is triple bonds.
  6. Numbering of the chain:
    Lowest numbering for the parent functional group i.e. 4-yne. When we give the 4-yne, we will get 3,6-diethyl and 8-chloro.

Now, combining all in alphabetical order, we get:

8-chloro-3,6-diethylnon-4-yne
