  Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function, Chapter 2.6, Problem 2.23E , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: As per IUPAC recommendations longest chain found in a continuous manner in a branched molecule is chosen as parent chain.

The IUPAC name begins with prefix to designate the number of C atoms in the longest chosen parent alkane followed by the suffix −ane. Positions of side chains or substituents are indicated by lowest numeral places before prefix.

Names of branches that occur commonly as side chains are listed below:
