What is the molecule's name?
« on: September 15, 2011, 07:38:36 PM »
 I have to write an essay about a cubane molecule and it has 2 hydroxil group, but I don't know what is the exact name for it.. I tried search for cubanediol and dihydroxicubane but didn't found anything worthy..

You could try a shortened name with the 1,4 naming.

Oh group is alchoal functional group and its IUPAC  name ended with "Ol" it has two OH groups so we use the prefix "Di" with its name.
