Type the name of the functional group(s) in the given blanks, my answers are bolded

Part 1:

This molecule contains alcohol and haloalkane groups, the haloalkane group gets priority in the IUPAC name.

Part 2:

The main chain will contain                            [ Select ]                       ["five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten", "other"]         carbons and the base alkane name will be                            [ Select ]                       ["pentane", "hexane", "heptane", "octane", "nonane", "decane", "other"]         and the the suffix                           [ Select ]                       ["-alcohol", "-ether", "-ane", "-ol", "other"]         will be added.

The chain is numbered                            [ Select ]                       ["left to right", "right to left", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "symmetrical"]      

There is stereochemistry that must be included in the full IUPAC name.                            [ Select ]                       ["Yes, stereochemistry is present and must be in the name", "no, stereochemistry is not present", "no, stereochemistry is present but cannot be assigned", "no, assignable stereochemistry is present but not required in the name"]      

Part 3:

What is the proper IUPAC name for the above compound. Please use proper spelling,

3-Bromo-2-chloro-nonane-4,6-diol

Answer 1

Part-1:- given molecule contain alcohol and haloalkane groups. Alcohol gets priority in IUPAC nomenclature.

Part-2:-

Parent chain contain nine carbon atoms.

Base name:- nonane, suffix:- -Ol

Chain is numbered right to left so that higher priority functional group alcohol gets lower number.

No stereochemistry present but can't be assigned.

Part-3:-

IUPAC name is:-

3-Bromo-2-chlorononane-4,6-diol
