Step 1: The parent chain consists of 3 carbon atoms. The root word is 'Prop'.
Step 2: There are single bonds between the carbon atoms of the chain . So, the primary suffix is 'ane'.
Step 3: Since , the compound contains - OH group , it is an alcohol. The carbon chain is numbered from the end which is closer to -OH group . (Rule 3)
`overset(3)(C)H_3-overset(2)(C)H_2-overset(1)(C)H_2-OH`
Step 4 : The locant number of -OH group is 1 and thus the secondary suffix is '1-ol`.
