Question
The $\text{IUPAC}$ name for $\ce{CH_3CH(OH)CH_2C(CH_3)_2OH}$ is$:$
✓
Answer
The compound has $2$ alcohol groups at $C-2$ positions on both the sides. From this point we can not say from where to start numbering.
But if we number from right hand side there is also a methyl group at $C-2$ position. So we start number from right hand side.
Since there are two alcoholic group, we use suffix "diol".
Thus $\text{IUPAC}$ name is: $2-$Methyl$-2,4$ pentanediol.
