is propanone.
In the longest chain, the numbering of carbon atom starts from the carbon atom nearest to the function group.
If the carbon chain of the compound contains a (-CO-) group, then change the ending of the parent name, i.e., ' $e$ ' of butane is replaced by 'one'.
Parent suffix: Butan-2-one
IUPAC name: Butan-2-one

Parent alkane: Propane
Functional group: $- OH$ (ol)
Assign the number: 2
The carbon atom to which the $- OH$ group is attached is numbered as $C _2$. If the carbon chain of the compound contains a $- OH$ group then change the ending of the parent name, i.e., ' $e$ ' of propane is replaced by 'ol'. (ol stands for alcohol)
Parent suffix: Propan-2-ol
IUPAC name: Propan-2-ol
