Mothballs don't have a chemical name, but we can identify the chemicals used in them. They used to contain naphtha, or naphthalene (C10H8), but they are currently made with 1,4-dichlorobenzene (C6H4Cl2). Camphor (C10H16O) is also used in some mothballs. Manufacturers also include a bit of something that acts as a deodorant. Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.
