**Detailed Explanation:**
1. **Structure Analysis:**
- The main ring structure is a cyclohexane (hexagonal ring with single bonds).
- There is a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to one of the carbons in the ring.
- Two methyl groups (-CH₃) are attached to another carbon in the ring.
2. **Numbering and Naming:**
- Number the carbon atoms in the ring starting from the carbon attached to the hydroxyl group to give it the smallest possible number. The OH group gets priority in numbering.
- Number the ring such that the substituents (methyl groups) get the lowest locant numbers. This means starting from the carbon with the OH group as carbon 1, the next substituent groups will be assigned the numbers to give them the lowest possible values.
- Given this, the structure has the hydroxyl group on carbon 1 and the two methyl groups on carbon 3.
3. **Combining the components:**
- The base name is "cyclohexanol" since it is a cyclohexane ring with an alcohol group.
- The positions of the two methyl groups are on carbon 3.
- The full name is assembled as follows: 3,3-dimethylcyclohexanol.
**Answer Submission Component:**
[In the provided input boxes, the answer to the IUPAC name of the compound should be selected or entered.]
3,3-dimethylcyclohexanol
The provided buttons contain multiple prefixes and root words commonly used in organic chemistry naming, such as:
- Numbering prefixes (e.g., 3, 5-, 1,5-, 1,3-)

- Recognizable groups and root names (e.g., cyclo](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F55a44e3d-6d6a-4ecd-9343-ab7bc7f808c7%2F7bbf4bf8-7854-416d-b6ce-2fe0282a09ca%2Fmi6g1mi_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
Transcribed Image Text:**Question 16 of 30**
**Provide the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown here.**
The image shows a cyclic compound that includes a hydroxyl (OH) group attached to a carbon. The main structure is a cyclohexane ring with the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon and two methyl (CH₃) groups attached to the third carbon.
