Identify the parent chain: The name 'nonane' indicates that the parent chain is a straight chain of 9 carbon atoms.
Number the carbon atoms in the parent chain: Start from one end of the chain and number the carbon atoms from 1 to 9.
Locate the substituents: According to the name '2,6-dimethyl-4-propylnonane', there are two methyl groups at positions 2 and 6, and one propyl group at position 4.
Draw the structure: Begin with the 9-carbon chain, then add the methyl groups at the 2nd and 6th carbon atoms, and the propyl group at the 4th carbon atom.
Verify the structure: Ensure that all substituents are correctly placed and that the total number of carbon atoms matches the name, with the correct connectivity.
