Give the structure of lowest molecular mass alcohol which is chiral?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the structure of the lowest molecular mass alcohol that is chiral, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Chiral Chirality in chemistry refers to a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. A chiral molecule must have at least one chiral center, typically a carbon atom bonded to four different substituents. ### Step 2: Identify Alcohols Alcohols are organic compounds that contain one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups. The general formula for an alcohol can be represented as R-OH, where R is an alkyl group. ...
