Identify the name of CH_3CH_2OH according to carbinol system.

Identify the name of CH3CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH} according to carbinol system.

Options

  1. AMethyl carbinol
  2. BEthyl carbinol
  3. CCarbinol
  4. DEthanol

Correct answer

A. Methyl carbinol

Step-by-step solution

In the carbinol system of nomenclature, methanol (CH3OH\text{CH}_3\text{OH}) is known as carbinol.

Higher alcohols are named as alkyl derivatives of carbinol.

The given compound is CH3CH2OH\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{OH}, which can be written as CH3−CH2OH\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}.

The −CH2OH-\text{CH}_2\text{OH} part represents the carbinol group, and the alkyl group attached to it is a methyl group (CH3−\text{CH}_3-).

Thus, the name of the compound according to the carbinol system is methyl carbinol.

Answer: Methyl carbinol
