Let's give a correct name for this molecule!
We look for the priority function. If this is a function staying necessarily in the end of a chain, the main chain will begin by there (carbon number 1), otherwise the main chain will be the longest chain containing the main function and will be numerotated given the lowest index to the priority function. ( Non-priority functions containing a carbon atom are considered as branches and don't take part of the main chain )
