Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has a cyclopentane ring with two substituents on one carbon and three on another carbon. The numbering of the ring starts with the carbon that has two substituents, which gives it the lowest number possible. The two substituents on carbon 2 are propyl groups, and the three substituents on carbon 1 are a hexyl group and two propyl groups. Therefore, the correct name is 1-hexyl-2,3-dipropylcyclopentane.
