  • actually we start numbering by minimising the number of highest order addition, which is the isobutyl, if it gets same number regardless, then we try to minimise the sum of numbers, so i think it should be called

    5-(isobutyl)-5,6,6,7,8-penta-ethyl-8-methyl-decane (I am assuming hydrogen’s are present, just not represented, because that usually is the case)

    I may alo be wrong here, it has been 4 years since I have been required to do nomenclature myself
