Question

Which one of the following is a secondary alcohol?

• A. 2-methyl-2-propanol
• B. 1-propanol
• C. 1-butanol
• D. 2-pentanol

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2-pentanol

$\left(A\right)C{H}_3-\stackrel{OH}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{C{H}_3}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-C{H}_3$ $3^{0}Alcohol$

$\left(B\right)C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}OH$ $1^{0}Alcohol$

$\left(C\right)C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}OH$ $1^{0}Alcohol$

$\left(D\right)C{H}_3-\stackrel{OH}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-C{H}_{2}C{H}_{2}C{H}_3$ $2^{0}Alcohol$

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
