(a)
Interpretation:
The condensed or skeletal structure of the following alcohol A should be drawn:
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are the organic molecules which have OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Structure of a particular molecule is the atoms and molecular arrangements through
(b)
Interpretation:
The hydroxyl group in structure A should be classified as
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds which contains a hydroxyl group (OH) bonded to a tetrahedral carbon is known as alcohols. Alcohols are classified as
(c)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the compound A should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are the organic molecules which have OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Longest carbon chain containing the carbon bonded to the OH group is named as an
Numbering of main carbon chain is done in such a way so that OH group gets the lowest number.
When OH group is bonded to a ring, the ring is numbered beginning with the OH group and the 1 is normally omitted from the name. The ring is numbered in clockwise or anticlockwise by giving the lowest number to the next substitute.
Compounds which contains two OH groups are named as
