Write the structural formulae and give IUPAC names for all isomeric alcohols of the molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`C_(4)H_(10)O` is a monohydric alcohol, i.e., `C_(4)H_(9) O`. It can have four isomeric alcohols.
`underset("Butan-1-ol are primary alcohols")(overset(4)(C)H_(3)overset(3)(C)H_(2)overset(2)(C)H_(2)overset(1)(C)H_(2)OH)` and`underset("2-Methylpropan -1-ol")(overset(3)(C)H-overset(CH_(3))overset(|2)(CH)-overset(1)(C)H_(2)OH )`
`underset("Butan -2-ol (secondary Alcohol)")(overset(4)(C)H_(3) overset(3)CH_(2)overset(OH)(overset(|2)(C)H-overset(1)(C)H_(3)))` and `underset("2-Methylpropan 2-ol(tertiary Alcohol)")(CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(1|)overset(overset(1)(C)H_(3))overset(2|)(C)-OH)`
