Sup bois, I'd like to know if this is a correct way of writing the structural formula of the compound from the title. Being read from left to right.

Also, it's supposed to be "tetramethylhexane". Christ, I'm slow today.

Just ask Dr. Google using a correct name

Real helpful, buddy. You don't think I've already tried that?

Also, 4-ethyl 2 2 4 5 tetramethylhexane is the only correct name of this compound that I know.

4-ethyl-2,2,4,5-tetramethylhexane - this is a correct name! - any sign is important
