When naming alcohols: drop the final e in the alkane name and replace with ___
ol
The longest carbon chain MUST be attached to the functional group _______, then # the chain so as to give that group priority
Winner (-OH)
The OH group is treated as a substituent named _______ when it appears on a structure with a higher priority functional group
hydroxy
alcohols with two -OH groups are called _______. They are named like other alcohols except that the suffix diol is used and 2 numbers are needed to tell where the two hydroxy groups are located
