Structural formula for the simplest tertiary alcohol with an acyclic R group has to be drawn. Concept Introduction: Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary depending upon the number of carbon atoms that is bonded to the carbon atom bearing hydroxyl group. Primary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to only one other carbon atom. Secondary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Tertiary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to three other carbon atoms. Primary is denoted as 1 ° , secondary as 2 ° , and tertiary as 3 ° .

Which carbocation is more stable?

Are the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?

The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
