Name the following Compound

I attached an image of the compound

The Attempt at a Solution

This is my attempt, although I don't know if it's correct or not, because I don't have an answer key.

2,3-chloro-methyl-4-bromo pentene

but after taking a second look, I would think it would be

2,2-chloro-methyl-4-bromo pentene

I don't think it's right though, I don't think i should be using bromo for the Br that is bonded with CH.

Any help?

I don't see a double bond here. That is, on the picture it may look like there is one, but it would mean two pentavalent carbons, not to mention fact that if so, you will need to tell if it is Z or E.

Number is given just before the substituent name, so not 2,3-chloro-methyl... but 2-chloro-3-methyl... But sort them alphabetically first.

Ah, you're right, there are no double bonds. Thanks for the reply, I have a better understanding now. Am I correct in assuming that bromo is used for Br though? Thanks.

yes, you are correct!
