Alcohols

This worksheet is about the nomenclature and structure of alcohols

1. Name these alcohols:

(a) CH3CH2CH2CH2OH (b) CH3CH(OH)CH3

(c) CH2OH (d) CH2OH

CH2OH CHOH

CH2OH

2. Write down the structural formula for the following alcohols:

(a) butan-2-ol (b) 2-methylpropan-1-ol

(c) phenol (d) 4-methylhexan-1-ol

(e) 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (e) cyclohexane-1-3-diol

3. Classify the alcohols mentioned in questions 1 and 2 as

(a) aliphatic or aromatic

(b) primary , secondary , or tertiary

4. Three diols have the same molecular formula of C2H4O2. Draw the structural formula of these three diols and give their chemical names.
