Question

Which of the following compounds is the condensed structural formula of 4-methyl-1-pentanol?a.(CH3)2CHCH2CH2CH2OHb.CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OHc.(CH3)2CHCH2CH2OHd.CH3C(CH2)2CH2OH

Solution

The condensed structural formula for 4-methyl-1-pentanol is represented as follows:

CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH2OH

Let's break it down:

  • The "pent" in pentanol indicates that there are five carbon atoms.
  • The "1" in 1-pentanol indicates that the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the first carbon atom.
  • The "4-methyl" indicates that a methyl group (-CH3) is attached to the fourth carbon atom.

Now, let's match this with the options:

a. (CH3)2CHCH2CH2CH2OH b. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH c. (CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH d. CH3C(CH2)2CH2OH

The correct answer is not listed in the options. The correct condensed structural formula for 4-methyl-1-pentanol should be CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH2OH.
