The recent detection of very high energy (VHE) emissions from flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) at high redshifts has revealed that the universe is more transparent to VHE γ-rays than it was expected. It has also questioned the plausible VHE emission mechanism responsible for these objects. Particularly for FSRQs, the γ-ray emission is attributed to the external Compton (EC) process. We perform a detailed spectral study of Fermi -detected FSRQ 3C 345 using synchrotron, synchrotron self-Compton, and EC emission mechanisms. The simultaneous data available in optical, ultraviolet, X-ray, and γ-ray energy bands is statistically fitted under these emission mechanisms using the χ2-minimization technique. Three high flux states and one low flux state are chosen for spectral fitting. The broad-band spectral energy distribution during these flux states is fitted under different target photon temperatures, and the model VHE flux is compared with the 50 h Cherenkov Telescope Array sensitivity. Our results indicate a significant VHE emission could be attained during the high flux state from MJD 59635−59715 when the target photon temperature is within 900–1200 K. Furthermore, our study shows a clear trend of variation in the bulk Lorentz factor of the emission region as the source transits through different flux states. We also note that during high γ-ray flux states, an increase in external photon temperature demands high bulk Lorentz factors, while this behaviour reverses in case of low γ-ray flux state.
