When naming organic compounds, identify the longest chain with the functional group (here, the triple bond) and number it to give the functional group the lowest possible number. Add side chains as substituents.
The compound's structure features a pentyne main chain (5 carbons with a triple bond between carbons 1 and 2) and a methyl side chain at carbon 3. The IUPAC name is thus 3-Methyl-1-Pentyne.
