According to IUPAC system, the compound is named as:
- a
Cyclohex-1-en-2-ol
- b
1-Hydroxyhex-2-ene
- c
Cyclohex-1-en-3-ol
- d✓
Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol
Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol
IUPAC Nomenclature Rules:
- Principal functional group gets priority (lowest number)
- Number the ring to give the principal group the lowest locant
- Double bond position is indicated after the parent name
- For cyclic compounds with OH group: cyclohex + en (double bond) + ol (alcohol)
Step 1: Identify functional groups
- OH group (alcohol) - principal functional group
- C=C double bond
Step 2: Numbering Start numbering from the carbon bearing the OH group:
- Position 1: Carbon with OH group
- Position 2: Carbon involved in double bond (adjacent to position 1)
Step 3: Construct the name
- Parent: Cyclohex (6-membered ring)
- Double bond at position 2: -2-en-
- OH at position 1: -1-ol
IUPAC Name: Cyclohex-2-en-1-ol
