If what I see on the screen is:
CH3-CH2-CH2-C(O)-O-CH2-CH3
then you have the ester of ethanol and butanoic acid, more properly called ethyl butanoate, or butanoic acid, ethyl ester

It is not 3-Hexanone since there is an ester group and not a ketone.
I would call it:
Butanoic acid ethyl ester
or
Butyric acid ethyl ester

it looks like butyl ethyl ether if the oxygen attached to 2 carbons but if its attached to one carbone then its 3-hexanone

3-hexanone, it is a ketone IUPAC name
or it is : ethyl-propyl-ketone
