Answer to Problem 57QAP
Explanation of Solution
- The name given to a compound according to the IUPAC nomenclature consists of several parts.
- The suffix that is used to indicate the main functional group of the structure.
- Name of the chain that is used to identify the main carbon chain of the compound.
- The prefixes that are used to indicate the substituent groups.
- The numbers that are used to indicate the places at which the substituent groups, additional groups and the main functional groups are attached to the chain.
The IUPAC name of an aliphatic compound can easily be developed by following the steps stated below in the given order.
- The main functional group should be identified first.
- The root name for the principal chain should be selected.

According to this explanation-OH is the functional group of an alcohol. This functional group is present in the main carbon chain of the example compound and hence resulting in absence of any substituent groups. Since there are only three carbon atoms in the main chain one should use the root name −prop in naming the compound. Also the −OH functional group is connected to the second carbon of the main chain and hence one must also indicate the position of −OH by using 2- as well.
