Accoriding to IUPAC system alcohols are named as alkanols. The ending ‘e’ in the name of the parent alkane, alkene or alkyne is replaced by the suffix ‘ol’. For naming polyhydric alcohol, ‘e’ in the ending of alkane is retained, the ending ‘ol’ is added and number of -OH groups is indicated by prefix di, tri, etc., before ‘ol’. The positions of -OH groups are indicated by appropriate locants. For example ethane -1,2-diol Similarly cyclic alcohols are named by using prefix cyclo to the parent alkane and considering -OH group attached to C-1 carbon atom.
