Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has a total of 7 carbons, which suggests that it is a heptanedioic acid. The two methyl groups are located on carbons 3 and 5, hence the prefix "3,5-dimethyl". The correct numbering of the carbon chain starts from the carboxylic acid group, which gives the locations of the methyl groups as 3 and 5. Therefore, the IUPAC name is "3,5-dimethylheptanedioic acid". The color code in the question does not represent any part of the compound name and can be ignored.
