A) 3- methylpentane-3-ol
B) 3-hydroxyhexane
C) 3-hydroxy-3-methyl pentane
D) all of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[\underset{3-methyl\,pen\tan \,3-ol}{\mathop{\overset{5}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,-\overset{4}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,-\underset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\overset{OH}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{3|}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}}\,-\overset{2}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\overset{1}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,}}\,\] Hydroxy is used when -OH group is written in prefix. So, choice (b) and (c) are wrong.You need to login to perform this action.
