\[
\mathrm{(CH_3)_3C-C(OH)(CH_3)_2}
\]
The IUPAC name of the following compound is
\[
\mathrm{(CH_3)_3C-C(OH)(CH_3)_2}
\]
Show Hint
In alcohol nomenclature,
\[
\boxed{\text{The hydroxyl group gets the lowest possible locant.}}
\]

- 2,3,3-trimethylbutan-2-ol
- 2,2,3-trimethylbutan-3-ol
- 1,1,2,2-tetramethylpropan-1-ol
- 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpropan-3-ol

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Choose the longest carbon chain containing the \(-\mathrm{OH}\) group.
The longest chain has four carbon atoms.
Hence, the parent hydrocarbon is
\[
\boxed{\text{butane}.}
\]
Step 2: Number the chain. Numbering is done from the end nearer the hydroxyl group. Thus, \[ \boxed{\text{OH at carbon-2}.} \] The methyl substituents are present at \[ 2,\ 3,\ 3. \] Hence the name is \[ \boxed{\text{2,3,3-trimethylbutan-2-ol}.} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
