Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of hexyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.

Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of neopentyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.

Depending on the type of carbon – primary, secondary, or tertiary – to which the hydroxyl group is attached, the alcohol is classified as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of pentafluoroethyl alcohol is to be drawn. The primary alcohol, secondary alcohol, or tertiary alcohol is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Trivial names of some alcohols are still in common use. They are derived from the trivial names of the alkane to which the hydroxyl group is attached. The first part of the name is derived from the trivial name of the root alkane. The second part is simply alcohol, indicating the functional group.
