(choose chapter or problem)

Provide the IUPAC name for the molecule given below.OHABrAYour What is straightforward: Name the molecule.How to start? Before naming a structure, you need to read it to determine connectivityand (if applicable) stereochemistry.Information needed? Youll need to know the rules of choosing a parent chain (or ring),numbering it, and naming its substituents. Thus:OH2 3 4 6Another methyl substituent Read the structure:1. Six-carbon longest chain.2. Four substituents (identified as shown).3. Hydroxy function takes precedence overthe others and defines numbering the stem.A methyl substituentAn alcohol A bromo substituent1 5ABrAProceed, step by step. Apply the naming rules: (1) It is a hexanol. (2) Numberingbegins at the end closer to the (highest-precedence) OH group. (3) Use alphabetical orderingto construct the name (di- is not counted it is just a multiplier for methyl).The answer: 5-Bromo-2,2-dimethyl-3-hexanol
