Question

IUPAC name of CH3 ch2 ch2 OH

Answer 1

For the IUPAC nomenclature, first we have to find the longest carbon chain.

And no doubt here we have only 1 chain of 3 carbon long. :P

So, the root word is ‘prop-'

Moving on to any functional group or substituent.

In CH3-CH2-CH2-OH , we have only one functional group that is –OH (alcohol) and no substituent. Due to the presence of alcohol in the first C atom, the suffix of the name is gonna be -1-ol.

☛ Combining both, the name of the compound turns out to be, propan-1-ol or simply propanol.

Thanks. :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The IUPAC name $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - OH$ is Propan- 1-ol

Explanation:

• The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is referred to as IUPAC.
• It provides a special technique for the systematic naming of chemical molecules.
• IUPAC naming of the chemical compound is depend on the nature of the compound

Rules of naming organic compound by IUPAC:

• The parent chain, which contains the longest chain of hydrocarbons, must first be determined.
• The  main functional group has to be determined.
• The Carbon atoms has to be  numbered which is connected to the primary functional group.

$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - OH$

⇒ The given compound is and alcohol organic compound because it ends with OH

⇒ In the given compound hydroxyl group is the primary functional group which is attached to alkane chain.

⇒ Therefore the given organic compound belongs to the propyl group

Hence the given compound is Propanol

Propanol:

• An organic substance called Propanol which has a functional aldehyde group in it.
• An organic molecule called propionic acid has a carboxylic acid functional group in it.
• Three carbon chains can be found in the hydrocarbon propane.

$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - OH$

⇒ In this compound the number of carbon atom is 3 therefore  parent alkane is propane

⇒ The functional group is present in OH i.e alcohol which is present at the first carbon atom

Therefore the compound can be  denoted as Propan - 1 - ol.

Final answer:

The IUPAC name $CH_{3} - CHx_{2} - CH_{2} - OH$ is Propan- 1-ol
