Nomenclature of Alcohols (Normally any compound's name which ends in-ol is an alcohol of some sort) IUPAC rules that: (1)Name the longest carbon chain bearing the-OH group.Drop the last-e from the alkane name and add-ol to obtain the root name. (2)Number the longest chain starting at the end nearest the-OH group,and designate a number for the-OH group.(Hydroxyl has greater priority than carbon-carbon multiple bonds). (3)Name the remaining substituents and their numbers as for alkanes and alkenes CH,OH CHOH CH,-C一CH-CH2-Br CHC-CH-CH:-Br CH CH 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol Chl0 Alcohols:Struct synth (landscape) Page 2Ch10 Alcohols; Struct + synth (landscape) Page 2 Nomenclature of Alcohols (Normally any compound’s name which ends in –ol is an alcohol of some sort) IUPAC rules that: (1) Name the longest carbon chain bearing the –OH group.
