What is the IUPAC name for this: (CH3)2CHCH2CL
the parenthesis is confusing me. i'm not sure what that means
(CH3)2CHCH2Cl
This means that the 2nd carbon from the left is attached to 2 methyl groups.

C--C--C--Cl
Numbering will start from the first carbon from the right. Therefore, the name of the compound is
1-Chloro-3-methylbutane
incorrect for both, but close...the answer is
1-chloro-3-methylpropane ^_^
and for the common name is isobutyl chloride
1-chloro-2-methylpropane
