Philoid · Accepted Answer

2-bromo-3,3-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)butane

Explanation:

1. While writing the IUPAC name, write the name of side substituent according to the alphabetical order.

2. Always use a hyphen {-} between a number and a alphabet.

3. Because of the presence of 2 (p-ClC₆H₂) group bis is used as a prefix instead of di because C₆H₄ contains itself contains numbers 6 & 4.

4. And at the last write the name of the longest hydrocarbon chain i.e. butane)
