Question

IUPAC name
H3C-HC-CH3
OH​

Answer 1

Answer:

the IUPAC name of the compound  CH₃CH(OH)CH₃ is Propan-2-ol

Explanation:

The chemical formula of the compound is CH₃CH(OH)CH₃

The parent chain has 3 carbons, thus the word root will be 'Prop'. Since all of the C is saturated, the parent chain is an alkane named Propane. The compound has a functional group -OH as a substituent at the C-2 position. So, the suffix '-ol' is added to the name by removing 'e' of the parent name

Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound is Propan-2-ol
