Interpretation:
Structure of the 3-methyl-3-pentanol should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are the organic molecules which have OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Longest carbon chain containing the carbon bonded to the OH group is named as an
Numbering of main carbon chain is done in such a way so that OH group gets the lowest number.
When OH group is bonded to a ring, the ring is numbered beginning with the OH group and the 1 is normally omitted from the name. The ring is numbered in clockwise or anticlockwise by giving the lowest number to the next substitute.
Compounds which contains two OH groups are named as

Answer to Problem 40P
Explanation of Solution
Structure of the 3-methyl-3-pentanol contains five carbon length main carbon chain which connects to an alcohol group in the 3rd carbon of the main carbon chain. Furthermore, methyl group also connects to the 3rd position of the main carbon chain. And according to the structure it should be a tertiary alcohol.
According to the name, structure of the compound is as below;
(b)
Interpretation:
Structure of the 4-methyl-2-pentanol should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are the organic molecules which have OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Longest carbon chain containing the carbon bonded to the OH group is named as an alkane and -e of the alkane replaced by the suffix -ol.
Numbering of main carbon chain is done in such a way so that OH group gets the lowest number.
When OH group is bonded to a ring, the ring is numbered beginning with the OH group and the 1 is normally omitted from the name. The ring is numbered in clockwise or anticlockwise by giving the lowest number to the next substitute.
Compounds which contains two OH groups are named as diols and when in nomenclature, -diol suffix is added to the end of the parent alcohol and position of the OH groups are used as prefix to indicate the location of the two OH groups.

Answer to Problem 40P
Explanation of Solution
Structure of the 4-methyl-2-pentanol consist one main C chain which contains five C atoms, and alcohol group is connected to the 2nd position of the main C ring. Methyl group is connects to the 4th position of the main C chain. And as per the name it should be a secondary alcohol.
Structure of the compound is as below;
(c)
Interpretation:
Structure of the 2,4-dimethyl-2-hexanol should be drawn.

Answer to Problem 40P
Explanation of Solution
Structure of the 2, 4-dimethyl-2-hexanol consist one main C chain which contains six C atoms, and alcohol group is connected to the 2nd position of the main C ring. Two methyl groups are connected to the 4th position and 2nd position of the main C chain. And as per the name it should be a tertiary alcohol.
Structure of the compound is as below;
(d)
Interpretation:
Structure of the 1,3-propanediol should be drawn.
