Parent chain → hex - 6 Cs
Modifier → 3-ol → alcohol at C3
Substituents:
5,5-dibromo → 2 -Br groups at C5
3-fluoro → -F group at C3
2-methyl → -CH3 group at C2
R configured → clockwise priority (4 must be dashed)
Draw the structure. Be sure to specify the stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.
(R)-5,5-dibromo-3-fluoro-2-methyl-3-hexanol
