Identify the parent hydrocarbon chain or ring. In this case, the structure is a cyclohexane ring, which is a six-membered carbon ring.
Locate the functional group with the highest priority. Here, the functional group is the hydroxyl group (-OH), which defines the compound as an alcohol.
Number the ring to give the hydroxyl group the lowest possible number. Since the -OH group is attached to carbon 1, it is numbered as such.
Identify and name any substituents attached to the ring. There is a methyl group attached to the same carbon as the hydroxyl group (carbon 1).
Combine the names by placing the substituent name before the parent name and using the suffix '-ol' for the alcohol. The correct systematic name is 1-methylcyclohexanol.
