Answer:

The name of the compound is 2,3-chlorobutanoic acid.

The longest carbon chain of the compound shown is a butane (4 single bonds carbons). The rightmost carbon is bonded to a carboxyl group (C double bond to O and single bond to OH). We should refer to this group by including the suffix -oic acid.

Because the functional group is on the rightmost carbon, the counting of the position of carbon should start from the right. This means that the carboxyl group is assigned to the first carbon position, and the chlorine branches are assigned to the second and third carbon position.

Thus, we name the compound as 2,3-chlorobutanoic acid.
