    @khanacademy i believe you made a mistake at 3:53 supposing that you should numbering the chain from the opposite direction so that the alkyne would get the lowest number possible

    • @rwayle
      @rwayle 7 років тому

      Good suggestion, but the alcohol is the highest priority functional group in this molecule, and the rule is we need to give it the lowest number possible.

      @@gccgmt1079 i think it can't be octinol since we've already used the OH group as a prefix, which was the "hydroxy" in the name. So in this alternative name, since we've used OH as a substituent, we will have the "yne" as suffix for the parent chain

    The alcohol overpowers everything right? So you have to give the alcohol the lowest number which means you have to start numbering to the end of the chain that will give the alcohol the lowest number. The alcohol group is telling you where to number.

    In Europe at least this video would be incorrect. You count carbons from the shortest possible end.
    For instance with 2-pentanol, the correct labels are: 1 2 3 2 1
    not: 5 4 3 2 1
    Use this for an A-Level/O-Level/International and Euro-baccalaureates and you WILL get the question wrong.
