Answer 1

n chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book).

Answer 2

The IUPAC name of the compound is 3 Hydroxy, 3 Methyl 2 Butanone

Explanation:

To write the IUPAC name of the following compound.

1. We identify the longest carbon chain, i.e. 4 carbon chain

2. The $=O$ at the second position is a ketone group, it is given priority over the hydroxy and methyl group present at the third position.

3. While naming a ketone we add the suffix $- one$.

4. If there are multiple functional groups in a compound, while name we write them in alphabetical order.

As there are three functional groups, we write them in the following sequence Hydroxy, methyl and ketone, we name them with the chain.

The compound's IUPAC name is 2, Hydroxy 2 Methyl 2 butanone.
