Step-by-step solution

10 steps

Here are the IUPAC names for the given compounds:

1) CH3C(CH3)2CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}

  1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the hydroxyl (OH\text{OH}) group.

    The structure can be expanded as:

          CH3
          |
    CH3 - C - CH2 - OH
          |
          CH3
    

    The longest continuous chain containing the OH\text{OH} group has 3 carbons. This is a propane derivative.

  2. Number the carbon chain starting from the end closest to the OH\text{OH} group.

    The OH\text{OH} group is on the first carbon.
    The chain is: C1H2OH−C2(CH3)2−C3H3\text{C}1\text{H}_2\text{OH} - \text{C}2(\text{CH}_3)_2 - \text{C}3\text{H}_3.

  3. Identify and name the substituents.

    There are two methyl (CH3\text{CH}_3) groups attached to carbon 2.

  4. Combine the information to form the IUPAC name.

    The parent alcohol is propan-1-ol. With two methyl groups at position 2, the name is 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol.

    The IUPAC name is 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol\boxed{\text{2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol}}.

    2) Cyclohexane with two OH\text{OH} groups

  5. Identify the parent ring and functional groups.

    The compound is a 6-membered carbon ring, which is a cyclohexane. It has two hydroxyl (OH\text{OH}) groups, making it a diol.

  6. Number the ring to give the hydroxyl groups the lowest possible locants.

    The two OH\text{OH} groups are on adjacent carbons. Therefore, they are at positions 1 and 2.

  7. Combine the information to form the IUPAC name.

    The name is cyclohexane-1,2-diol.

    The IUPAC name is cyclohexane-1,2-diol\boxed{\text{cyclohexane-1,2-diol}}.

    3) Cyclopentane with four methyl groups

  8. Identify the parent ring and substituents.

    The compound is a 5-membered carbon ring, which is a cyclopentane. It has four methyl (CH3\text{CH}_3) groups attached to the ring.

  9. Number the ring to give the substituents the lowest possible locants.

    Starting from the top carbon as 1 and moving clockwise, the methyl groups are at positions 1, 2, 3, and 4.
    (C1: top, C2: top-right, C3: bottom-right, C4: bottom-left, C5: top-left).

  10. Combine the information to form the IUPAC name.

    There are four methyl groups, so "tetramethyl". Their positions are 1,2,3,4. The parent ring is cyclopentane.
    The name is 1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentane.

    The IUPAC name is 1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentane\boxed{\text{1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentane}}.
