You have a pentoxy group attached to the second carbon in this nine-carbon chain.

A pentoxy group is simply a pentyl group, which is a five-carbon alkyl group, bonded to an oxygen atom via a single bond.

Pentyl looks like this

#-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3#

Pentoxy looks like this

#-O-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3#
