Chapter 5, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas for all the isomeric methyl-cyclohexanols showing each isomer are to be written and their substitutive IUPAC names are to be written.

Concept Introduction:

If a disubstituted cyclohexane has two different substituents, then the most stable conformation is the chair conformation having the larger substituent in an equatorial orientation.

Substitutive names of alcohols are written by identifying the longest continuous

chain that has the hydroxyl group and replacing the -e ending of the corresponding alkane by -ol. The position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number, selecting the sequence that allots the lower locant to the carbon that bears the hydroxyl group.
