Such a structure might exist at low temperatures, but at or near standard temperature and pressure would normally rearrange to a carbon-oxygen double bond by losing a water molecule.

What is alcohol functional group?

The alcohol functional group is -OH (hydroxyl group) attached to a carbon atom. It is a common functional group found in alcohols such as ethanol and methanol. Alcohols exhibit unique chemical properties due to the presence of this functional group.


How many carbons are in methanol?

One carbon atom attached with three hydrogen atoms and OH (alcohol) functional group


Alcohol in which the hydroxyl is attached to a carbon attached to three other carbons?

Tertiary


Is 2-methylpentane an alkane alkene or an alcohol?

Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.


Which functional groups are present in carbohydrates?

alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone.


What is the Name of the compound ch3 ch2 ch2 ch2 oh?

The compound CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is called butanol. It is a four-carbon alcohol with the OH functional group attached to the fourth carbon atom in the chain.


What is an alpha carbon?

In organic chemistry, an alpha carbon is the first carbon atom of an aliphatic chain which is attached to a functional group.


Can an alcohol have a double bond?

Yes, provided the -OH group is not attached to the double bond carbon (though there are some exceptions) For example: But-2-en-1-ol, But-3-en-1-ol etc have double bond as well as alcohol functional group.


What compound contains the functional group called alcohol?

A compound containing the functional group called alcohol is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to a carbon atom. Examples include ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages), methanol (used as a solvent), and propanol (used in industry and as a solvent).


What are the key differences between vinylic and allylic functional groups in organic chemistry?

Vinylic functional groups have a double bond directly attached to a carbon atom, while allylic functional groups have a double bond attached to a carbon atom that is next to a carbon-carbon double bond. This difference affects their reactivity and stability in organic reactions.


the functional groups in L-dopa?

The primary functional group in L-dopa is an amino group (-NH2) attached to a carbon chain. Additionally, it contains a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon chain.


Is ethanol primary or secondary alcohol?

In order to be a secondary alcohol, the carbon with the alcohol moiety must be bonded to two other carbons. There are only two carbons total in ethanol, so it cannot possibly be a secondary alcohol. The smallest/lowest molecular weight secondary alcohol is cyclopropanol, which has three carbons: one for the alcohol group, and two others for it to be bonded to.
