(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Chemistry

Phenol (hydroxybenzene) is an organic compound that has a hydroxyl (OH) group attached to an aromatic benzene ring. Its IUPAC nomenclature is done considering the position of the hydroxyl group in relation to the substituents present in the ring, which can lead to a variety of names for different phenol isomers. In addition, phenol is widely used in the chemical industry, acting as a raw material in the synthesis of resins, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Given a compound that has an aromatic ring containing two methyl (CH3) groups and one hydroxyl group, you are asked to identify the correct IUPAC nomenclature for this phenol isomer and explain the process of numbering the ring to determine the name.
