example
2-methyl-2-pentanol IUPAC names for alcohols are derived in the same way as for alkenes except that the ending of the parent alkane is changed from -e to -ol to indicate that the substance is an alcohol. - Select the parent alkane as the longest carbon chain that contains the - OH group and number it from the end that gives the - \( \mathrm{OH} \) group the lower number. In assigning numbers, the location of the \( -\mathbf{O H} \) group takes precedence over alkyl, aryl and halogen groups. - Change the ending of the parent alkane from e to ol, and use a number to show the location of the -OH group. For cyclic alkanes, remember to begin the parent name with the prefix cyclo and that the carbon bearing the \( -\mathbf{O H} \) group is automatically assigned number 1. - Substituents are named in the same way as they are for the alkanes. Substituents appear first in the name in alphabetical order with their positions given by the number of the carbon atom to which they are attached.
