Name the following compound:
CH3 - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - OH

Answer 1

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}`

Here we go ~

There are 4 carbon atoms in the chain, so it's prefix should be " But " and there are only sigma bonds, therefore the primary suffix will be " ane ", and the functional group attached to the end is " OH " denoting alcohol group, so the secondary suffix will be " ol "

Hence, the name of the compound will be ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:Butan - 1 - ol`

or simply

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: Butan ol`
