Well, its name is 2-propenol, but in reality it is very unstable and will rearrange to form the ketone.

Well, its name is ethenol, but in reality it is very unstable and will rearrange to form ethanal.
Thanks a lot! Any chance you know this one too?

1-methyl-ethan-1-ol
methyl group on the 1st carbon (from right), the alcohol function group is on the 1st carbon hence -1-ol
ethanol as it has two carbons

missed the double bond! thanks a lot for trying though I appreciate the help
Edit: just saw the edit! thanks.

Afraid I missed that CH3 group (just about to head out, slightly boozed :P ). Its actualy name is 2-propenol.

Am I missing something? Looks like propen-2-ol to me, but I may be wrong!

Oh yeah
didn't see that before I posted Is putting the 2 before the rest of the compound a personal thing, or just what you were taught? I mean, you may prefer to say it that way, as I was taught to put the number just before the -ol.

In the real world, it doesn't matter. However A level mark schemes are rediculously pedantic when it comes to things like this, so do what you've been taught

Oh, okay, thank you anyway!

It's 2-hydroxypropene (not propen-2-ol)

Can anyone else confirm this? Looking them both up they both seem to have the same exact formula - are they different names for the same thing?

In my AQA chemistry we have to use the IUPAC name. Compounds often have multiple names

Same thing, hydroxy is another way of saying -OH. This is, however, an alcohol group in this case, so I'd go for propen-2-ol

Due to the double bond the hydroxyl group (-OH) has to be a prefix not a suffix

The highest priority group assumes the suffix, and since alcohols are a higher priority group than alkenes, it's propen-2-ol

This is the saddest debate I've ever had hahahaha.
I still vote hydroxy-

An enol is a functional group in its own right, not simply a combination of an alkene and an alcohol. It has its own name.
