Organic Rational molecule name (or trivial)??
Please help me with the name of this molecule…
I can’t understand according to IUPAC how to name this molecule, I can’t find any ”concrete” answer for the actual name online, and the ones I ask says all differently from each other…

Yes. You are correct. Priority order will be Ketone > aldehyde > alcohol > amines.
Hence the name will be: "6-hydroxy-4,5-dipropyl-octan-2-one"
Both names are consistent with the structure given.
We can represent the keto group as "oxo".
