Answer:
the IUPAC name of the compound CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CH₃ is Butan-2-ol
Explanation:
The chemical formula of the compound is CH₃CH₂CH(OH)CH₃
The parent chain has 4 carbons, thus the word root will be 'But'. Since all of the C is saturated, the parent chain is an alkane named Butane. 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 Butan-2-ol
