Naming a given organic compound according to IUPAC naming rules
Yes, your naming would be correct. For saturated hydrocarbons, the first point of difference rule takes precedence after the longest carbon chain. To apply this rule, the locants of each set are ordered numerically in a list from lowest to highest, and the series that has the lower number at the first occasion of difference is determined as the lower locant set, regardless of what comes after this first point of difference. In this case, &quot;3,3,4,7,7&quot; would be the lower locant set than &quot;3,3,6,7,7&quot;, because 4 is lower than 6.
