This will probably be a job for maddy as I am a little rusty on my naming. I'll try to look it up tonight if she doesn't get on.

Hi there, maybe I'm missing something but I can't find your attachment. What did you attach it to? Also, just listing the formula could prove to be difficult if it's not written in a way that allows you to determine the connectivity of the atoms. Can you post pictures of the molecules in question? Thanks.

You want to start with as an acid.  The only acid you have there is proprionic acid, when you lose the acidic proton, it becomes proprionate (or propanoate, I can't remember, this compound is weird).  This proprionate is the end of naming your compound.  The hydrocarbon connected to the single bond of carbon-oxygen is an isobutyl group.  To put these together, you would call your compound isobutyl proprionate. 

As a note: I'm pretty sure the four carbon chain is isobutyl, but double check, it could just be named as 2-methylpropyl as well.
