Identify the IUPAC name of the compound.

Identify the IUPAC name of the compound.
Identify the IUPAC name of the compound.

Options

  1. ACyclobutanol
  2. B2-Methoxypropane
  3. C2-Methylcyclobutanol
  4. D2-Hydroxyethylcyclopentane

Correct answer

C. 2-Methylcyclobutanol

Step-by-step solution

The given compound contains a four-membered carbon ring, which is a cyclobutane ring.

The principal functional group is the hydroxyl group (−OH-OH), so the parent name is cyclobutanol. The carbon atom attached to the −OH-OH group is assigned position 11.

There is a methyl group (−CH3-CH_3) attached to the adjacent carbon atom. To give the lowest possible locant to the substituent, this carbon is assigned position 22.

Combining these parts, the IUPAC name of the compound is 2-Methylcyclobutanol.

Answer: 2-Methylcyclobutanol
