Number of acyclic structural isomers of ...

Number of acyclic structural isomers of the compound having the molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O` is

A

4

B

5

C

6

D

7

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Total number of acyclic structural isomers = 7
Due to -OH group (4)
1. `CH_(3) - CH_(2) - CH_(2) -OH`
2. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-CH_(3)`
3. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-OH`
4. `CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OH`
Due to - O- group, i.e. ethers (3).
1. `CH_(3)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
2, `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`

Total = 4 + 3 = 7
