Question

The given IUPAC name is 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane-3-ol

Is the above statement correct?

Answer 1

According to IUPAC nomenclature, we have to give preference to the functional groups. So, the numbering starts from the functional group $-OH$ which is attached to the carbon atom. At the position of 4-C there 2 methyl groups are present.

All these attached to the benzene ring. The IUPAC name of the given compound is 4,4-dimethylcyclohexan-1-ol

Therefore, the statement is false.
