IUPAC name of HOOCCH2CH2(CH2CHO)CHCH=CH2 will be
4-(2-oxoethyl)-hex-5-enoic acid


Priority is given to the carboxylic acid and we don't specify the locant because it's a carboxylic acid and is 1 by default.
Ethanal is considered a substituent on a branch so it is named as oxoethyl, 2 means that the oxygen is on C2 starting the counting from the branch, and the main hydrocarbon is a carboxylic acid with a double bond on position 5.
