Name the following compound: CH3 - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - OH

Answer 1

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}$

Here we go ~

There are 4 carbon atoms in the chain, so it's prefix should be " But " and there are only sigma bonds, therefore the primary suffix will be " ane ", and the functional group attached to the end is " OH " denoting alcohol group, so the secondary suffix will be " ol "

Hence, the name of the compound will be ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:Butan - 1 - ol$

or simply

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: Butan ol$
