Answer:

2,6–dimethylcyclohexanol

Explanation:

To name the compound given in the question above, we must first obtain the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall determine the name IUPAC name of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

1. The compound contains the –OH group. Thus, the compound is an alcohol.

2. The compound is a cyclic compound with six carbon forming the ring. Thus, the parent name of the compound is cyclohexane. Thus, the presence of the –OH group changes the parent name of the compound to cyclohexanol.

3. The substituent group attached to the compound is methyl (–CH₃)

NOTE: There are two –CH₃ groups attached to the compound.

4. The position of the 1st –CH₃ group is at carbon 2, while the 2nd is at carbon 6.

NOTE: Counting is done from the carbon bearing the functional group.

5. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2,6–dimethylcyclohexanol
