So for this problem in the organic textbook on pg. 97, it asks to name the compound of a structure including alcohol.
I understand why the carbon with the functional group,alcohol, was numbered first, but why did the numbering continue towards methyl?
I thought that when there is a double bond, we are supposed to continue numbering until we pass the double bond.
