Answer
(1R,3R)-3-methylcyclohexanol
Work Step by Step
1. Name the compound by its substituents, parent, unsaturations and functional group:
** First identify the parental chain, and where you should start counting the carbons.
- Substituents: 3-methyl
- Parent: cyclohex
- Unsaturations: an
- Functional group: ol
2. Identify the double bonds and stereocenters.
- No double bonds.
- One stereocenter on the carbon 1, and other on the carbon 3.
3. Identify their configurations:
- The carbon 1 is "R" : (1R)
- The carbon 3 is also "R" : (3R)
4. Put all the parts together:
(1R,3R)-3-methylcyclohexanol
