In carbinol system, sec-Butyl alcohol is named as

Options

  1. AEthyl methyl carbinol
  2. Bsec-Butylcarbinol
  3. CIsopropyl carbinol
  4. DDiethylcarbinol

Correct answer

A. Ethyl methyl carbinol

Step-by-step solution

Sec-butyl alcohol has the structure CH₃CH(OH)CH₂CH₃ , with the hydroxyl group bonded to a secondary carbon. In the carbinol system, alcohols are named as derivatives of methanol, considering the groups attached to the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group. For sec-butyl alcohol, the carbinol carbon is bonded to hydrogen, methyl ( CH₃ ), and ethyl ( CH₂ CH₃ ). The name is formed by listing the alkyl groups in alphabetical order followed by 'carbinol', yielding ethyl methyl carbinol . Among the options: A: Ethyl methyl c
