(a)
Interpretation:
The alcohol present in the given compound has to be classified whether it is primary, secondary or tertiary.
Concept Introduction:
In an organic compound, the reactive portion is known as functional group. This undergoes reactions with other reagents and this does not depend upon how the rest of the compound is like. Few of the common
In alcohol compound, the functional group is hydroxyl. If the hydroxyl is bonded to a carbon which bears two hydrogen atoms means it is primary alcohol. If the hydroxyl group is bonded to a carbon which bears one hydrogen atom means it is a secondary alcohol and if it is bonded to a carbon atom which does not have any hydrogen atom means it is tertiary alcohol.
(b)
Interpretation:
The alcohol present in the given compound has to be classified whether it is primary, secondary or tertiary.
Concept Introduction:
In an organic compound, the reactive portion is known as functional group. This undergoes reactions with other reagents and this does not depend upon how the rest of the compound is like. Few of the common functional groups are alcohol, ester, carboxylic acid, ketone, aldehyde etc. Functional group determines the nature of the compound.
