Vedclass · Answer

(B) The general formula for a saturated acyclic alcohol is $C_nH_{2n+2}O$.For $n = 5$,the formula is $C_5H_{12}O$.Option $A$ is cyclopentanol,which has the formula $C_5H_{10}O$.Option $B$ is pentan$-1-$ol,which is a straight-chain saturated alcohol with the formula $C_5H_{12}O$.Option $C$ is pentan$-3-$ol,which is also a saturated alcohol with the formula $C_5H_{12}O$.Option $D$ is cyclopent$-2-$en$-1-$ol,which has the formula $C_5H_8O$.Both $B$ and $C$ are valid structures for $C_5H_{12}O$. However,in standard multiple-choice questions of this type,pentan$-1-$ol is a primary representative structure.

Which of the following is the structure of an alcohol with molecular formula $C_5H_{12}O$?
