The given compound is In the case of IUPAC nomenclature, the primary prefixes are used to differentiate between cyclic compound and noncyclic or chain compound. For cyclic compound prefix s ‘cyclo’ with the word root of the compound as cycloalkane or cycloalkene. if there are any side chains or groups are present then secondary prefixes like ‘methyl’, ‘ethyl’ are used. Now numbering the groups by giving priority on the basis atomic number of the groups. Here the highest priority group is OH (alcohol) group. Hence the numbering will start form that one. So, the two methyl groups will get positi
