ACTIVITY 2

properties of alkanols

ISOMERS OF ALKANOLS.

Alkanols exhibit both structural and position isomerism.

The isomers are named by using the following basic guidelines:

(i)Like alkanesĀ  , identify the longest carbon chain to be the parent name.

(ii)Identify the position of theĀ  -OH functional group to give it the smallest /lowest position.

(iii) Identify the type and position of the side branches.
