Here are the names for the 11 compounds:
-
CH₃—CH₂—CH₂—OH
- Longest chain with -OH: 3 carbons. -OH on C1.
- Name: Propan−1−ol
-
HO—CH₂—CH₂—OH
- Longest chain with -OH groups: 2 carbons. -OH groups on C1 and C2.
- Name: Ethane−1,2−diol
-
HO—CH₂—CH(OH)—CH₂—OH
- Longest chain with -OH groups: 3 carbons. -OH groups on C1, C2, and C3.
- Name: Propane−1,2,3−triol
-
CH₃—CH(OH)—CH₃
- Longest chain with -OH: 3 carbons. -OH on C2.
- Name: Propan−2−ol
-
CH₃—CH(OH)—CH₂—CH₃
- Longest chain with -OH: 4 carbons. Numbering from the right gives -OH on C2.
- Name: Butan−2−ol
-
CH₃—CH(OH)—CH(CH₃)—CH₂—CH₃
- Longest chain with -OH: 5 carbons (pentane). Numbering from the left gives -OH on C2 and -CH₃ on C3.
- Name: 3−methylpentan−2−ol
-
CH₃—CH(CH₃)—CH₂—CH₂—CH(OH)—CH₃
- Longest chain with -OH: 6 carbons (hexane). Numbering from the right gives -OH on C2 and -CH₃ on C5.
- Name: 5−methylhexan−2−ol
-
Cyclopentane with an -OH group
- Cyclic alcohol with 5 carbons.
- Name: Cyclopentanol
-
Cyclopentane ring with -OH, -Br, and -Cl
- Number the ring starting with -OH as C1. Then number to give substituents the lowest possible numbers. Clockwise numbering gives -Br on C2 and -Cl on C3.
- Name: 2−bromo−3−chlorocyclopentanol
-
CH₃—C(CH₃)(OH)—C(Br)(Br)—CH₃
- Longest chain with -OH: 4 carbons (butane). Numbering from the left gives -OH on C2.
- Substituents: methyl on C2, two bromo groups on C3.
- Name: 3,3−dibromo−2−methylbutan−2−ol
-
CH₃—CH₂—CH(CH₂Cl)—CH(CH₃)—CH₂OH
- Longest carbon chain containing the -OH group: 5 carbons (pentane). Numbering from the right gives -OH on C1.
- Substituents: methyl on C2, chloromethyl on C3.
- Name: 3−(chloromethyl)−2−methylpentan−1−ol
