Give IUPAC names for the following substances:

(a)

Explanation

This compound is a member of the acyl halide group which is included in the carbonyl group. This an acyl halide because the carbon from the carbonyl group C=O) is attached to a halide(Cl). To name this compound we look at the carbon that is attached to the oxygen. Then we start counting and find the longest carbon chain. We determined it to be 5. Then at carbon-4 there is a methyl substituent. For acyl halides, the suffix is -oyl halide or in this case -oyl chloride. Taking these all into account, the name of the compound is 4-methylpentanoyl chloride.
