Step 1: Understanding the Structure of Neohexyl Alcohol
- Neohexyl alcohol consists of a six-carbon chain with a hydroxyl (-OH) group.
- The longest continuous chain is butane (4 carbons), and substituents are added accordingly.
- It has two methyl (-CH$_3$) groups on the third carbon and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group on the first carbon.
Step 2: IUPAC Naming Rules 1. Identify the longest carbon chain containing the -OH group → Butane (4 carbons).
2. Number the chain from the end closest to the -OH group → -OH is on Carbon 1.
3. Identify and name substituents → Two methyl groups (-CH$_3$) at Carbon 3.
4. Arrange in alphabetical order and use lowest locants → 3,3-Dimethylbutan-1-ol.
Step 3: Verifying the Answer - The correct name based on IUPAC rules is 3,3-Dimethylbutan-1-ol, which matches Option (2).
