To determine the IUPAC name of a chemical compound, you need to identify the longest carbon chain in the molecule and assign a root name based on the number of carbon atoms. Then, you need to identify and name any functional groups present in the compound according to IUPAC rules. Finally, arrange the names of the substituents in alphabetical order and combine them with the root name to form the complete IUPAC name of the compound.
