Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 54E
One of the skin-irritating components of poison oak is tetrahvdrourushiol:
The long, nonpolar hydrocarbon tail embeds itself in a person's oily skin, where the molecule initiates an allergic response. Scratching the itch spreads tetrahvdrourushiol molecules over a greater surface area, causing the zone of irritation to grow. Is this compound an alcohol or a phenol? Defend your answer.
