Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The lowest molecular weight chiral compound that contains only C, H and O which also fits as an acyclic alcohol is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The compound which contains an asymmetric carbon atom (carbon atom which is bonded with four different groups) is known as chiral compound. The chiral compound is always non-superimposable to its mirror image.
