a) 2,2-dimethyl-6-ethylheptane is incorrect name. Correct name is 2,2,6-trimethyloctane. The longest C chain contains 8 carbon atoms.
b) 5-ethyl-3-methylheptane is incorrect name. Correct name is 3-ethyl-5-methylheptane. The numbering should start from the side which gives lowest locant to ethyl substiuent and not methyl substituent.
c) 2-Isopropyl-4-methylheptane is incorrect name. Correct name is 2,3,5-trimethyloctane. The longest C chain contains 8 carbon atoms.
d) 5-methylcyclohexanol is incorrect name. Correct name is 3-methylcyclohexan-1-ol. The numbering should start from the side which gives lowest locants to substituents
