Hi Anirudh,

Find the longest chain containing -OH.

(If there is a chain with more carbons than the one containing the OH group it will be named as a substituent).

Place the OH on the lowest possible number for the chain, the alcohol or hydroxy groups have first priority for naming with the exception of carbonyl groups such as ketones and aldehydes

When naming a cyclic structure, the -OH is assumed to be on the first carbon unless the carbonyl group is present, in which case the later will get priority at the first carbon.

When multiple -OH groups are on the cyclic structure, number the carbons on which the -OH groups reside.

Remove the final “e” from the parent alkane chain and add “-ol”. When multiple alcohols are present use di, tri, etc before the ol, after the parent name.

(If a carbonyl group is present, the -OH group is named with the prefix "hydroxy," with the carbonyl group attached to the parent chain name so that it ends with -al or -one.)

Hope you got your answer

Thanks for asking
