Chapter 21, Problem 52E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For each of the following alcohols the structural formulas are to be drawn and the categorization of the given alcohols as primary, secondary, or tertiary is to be stated.

Concept introduction: An organic compound containing a hydroxyl $\left(\text{OH}\right)$ functional group is termed as an alcohol. The hydroxyl group is present on the aliphatic carbon. According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry $\left(\text{IUPAC}\right)$, alcohols are named by using the suffix “- $\text{ol}$”. The categorization of an alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols is done on the basis of the carbon attached to $\text{OH}$.

To determine: The structural formula of the alcohol and the categorization of the given alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.
