Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule is six carbons, making it cyclohexane. The substituent on the first carbon is an isopropyl group, so the correct name is 1-isopropylcyclohexanol. The prefix "trans" refers to the orientation of substituents on a double bond, which this molecule does not have.
