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..

how about the following

(1r,2R,3R,4s,5r,6S,7S,8s)-cubane-1,4-diol

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.
