Chapter 13.1, Problem 13.2QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“Give the IUPAC and common name for each of the following compounds.” should be explained

Concept introduction:

► Alcohols contain the characteristic $-OH$ functional group.

Alcohol

► Alcohols ($ROH$) are classified primary (${\text{1}}^{\text{o}}$), secondary (${\text{2}}^{\text{o}}$), or tertiary (${\text{3}}^{\text{o}}$) based on the number on carbon atoms bonded to the carbon with the $-OH$ group.

A primary (${\text{1}}^{\text{o}}$) alcohol has an hydroxyl,$\text{-OH}$ group on a carbon bonded to one carbon.

A secondary (${\text{2}}^{\text{o}}$) alcohol has an hydroxyl, $-OH$ group on a carbon bonded to two carbons.

A tertiary (${\text{3}}^{\text{o}}$) alcohol has an hydroxyl, $-OH$ group on a carbon bonded to three carbons.
