Q. 12.63 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Draw the condensed structural formulas and give the IUPAC name for all the alcohols that have the formula $C_5{H}_{12}O$.$\left(12.1\right)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The condensed structural formulas of all the alcohols having the formula ${\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{12}\mathrm{O}$ is:

$1‐\mathrm{pentanol}$

$2‐\mathrm{pentanol}$

$3‐\mathrm{pentanol}$

$2‐\mathrm{methyl}‐1‐\mathrm{butanol}$

$3‐\mathrm{methyl}‐1‐\mathrm{butanol}$

$2‐\mathrm{methyl}‐2‐\mathrm{butanol}$

$2,2- \mathrm{dimethyl}-1-\mathrm{propanol}$

Step 1: Given Information

We need to draw the structure of $C_5{H}_{12}O$.

Step 2: Simplify

The first one is $1‐\mathrm{pentanol}$and its structural formula is:

The second one is $2‐\mathrm{pentanol}$and its structural formula is:

The third one is $3‐\mathrm{pentanol}$ and its structural formula is:

The fourth one is $2‐\mathrm{methyl}‐1‐\mathrm{butanol}$ and its structural formula is:

The fifth one is $3‐\mathrm{methyl}‐1‐\mathrm{butanol}$ and its structural formula is:

The sixth one is $3‐methyl‐2‐bu\tan ol$ and its structural formula is:

The seventh one is $2‐\mathrm{methyl}‐2‐\mathrm{butanol}$ and its structural formula is:

The last one is $2,2- \mathrm{dimethyl}-1-\mathrm{propanol}$ and its structural formula is:
