Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule is a cycloheptane with two hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms 1 and 4. The stereochemistry at these two carbons can be determined by the numbering system TB5902_00, which indicates a specific enantiomer. Therefore, the correct name is (1R,4S)-1,4-cycloheptanediol.
