Chapter 14, Problem 14.120EP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Condensed structural formulas for the four isomeric alcohols and three isomeric ethers that have the molecular formula of ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$ has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Functional group isomerism is the one in which the functional group of two compounds are totally different but the molecular formula of the compounds remains the same.  Ethers and alcohols that have same number of carbon atoms and same degree of saturation can have functional group isomerism.  This is a type of constitutional isomerism.
