Work Step by Step
For naming alcohol:
1.First, assign number to the C atoms in straight chain.
2. Numbering will be done so that the C attached with OH group gets the minimum number.
3. Find the total no. of C atoms to find out the word root. (for example, if no. of C atom is 4 , the word root is 'but')
4. If substituent is present, then the substituent will be written before word root.
5. For alcohol, suffix 'anol' is added to the word root.
Format: (Substituent name)(word root)(suffix).
