(CH3)2C=C(CH3)OH I posted it in another forum by accident. Hydroxyl group, methyl group, double carbon bond.
also no, because the question contains double carbon bonds (alkene). I forgot the name but I'll draw it.
I can trow another one in though, maybe someone will recognize it.. :shrug: 2-methyl-2-propylethanol (?)
it looks like this, but my chemical also a bit rusty, forget how to name it :shrug: CH3------CH3 -----\----/ -----C=C -----/----\ CH3------OH
oh, I was right, it is, 3-methly-2-buthenol, or popular name: prenol -------CH3 --------| CH3--C = CH--CH2 ------------------| ------------------OH prenol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenol
See the problem is that I forgot how the double bond is made clear in the name. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Shouldn't there be a double bond in there ?
3-methyl-2-buthenol. Under IUPAC nomenclature, when there is both double bonds and hydroxyl, the numbering is started from C that closer to the hydroxyl. (I'm not so sure, though). Btw, not butanol, but buthenol. The double bond shows it isn't an alkane but alkene.
I have to draw it first to give the numbers and the position of alkyl Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Yes that's it, I'm certain now Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Now for a common name...
