The line-angle formula shows a seven-membered chain consisting of a line terminus, a segment of five vertices, and a line terminus. There is a triple bond between the leftmost line terminus and the first (from left to right) vertex and a double bond between the third and the fourth vertices. The second and the fifth chain vertices are on opposite sides of the double bond. Spell out the full name of the compound.

Answer:

IUPAC name is: 4-methyl-cyclohexanol

Step-by-step explanation:

IUPAC name is: 4-methyl-cyclohexanol

The hydroxyl group takes precedence over alkyl groups and halogen substituents, as well as double bonds, in the numbering of the parent chain. So in the parent chain i.e. cyclohexane the primary carbon will be the one connected to -OH group. Hence the carbon attatched to methyl group is 4. So the nomenclature is 4-methyl-cyclohexan-1-ol (or) wriiten as 4-methyl-cyclohexanol
