Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the parent hydrocarbon structure. In this case, the parent structure is a cyclohexane ring, which is a six-membered carbon ring.
Determine the functional group present. The image shows an -OH group, indicating that the compound is an alcohol.
Locate the position of the substituents on the cyclohexane ring. The image shows a methyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the same carbon atom on the cyclohexane ring.
Assign numbers to the carbon atoms in the ring starting from the carbon with the hydroxyl group, as it takes priority in numbering. The hydroxyl group is on carbon 1, and the methyl group is also on carbon 1.
Combine the information to form the systematic name. The compound is named as 1-methylcyclohexanol, indicating the presence of a methyl group at position 1 and an alcohol group (hydroxyl) on the cyclohexane ring.
