Which of the following are benzylic alcohols
I `C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)OH`
II `C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)OH`
III. `C_(6)H_(5)-underset(""CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-OH`
IV. `C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"CH"-OH`
select the correct option.

A

Only I

B

Both I and II

C

Both II and III

D

Both III and IV

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Alcohols I and IV are not benzylic alcohols since, they do not carry the `-OH` group on that carbon which is directly linked to the benzene ring.
