Question

Observe the following table,

Compound	Common name	IUPAC name
$CH_3-OH$	Methyl alcohol	I
$CH_3CH_2CH_2OH$	$n$-propyl alcohol	propan -1-ol
$CH_3-\underset{\overset{|}{OH}}{C}H-CH_3$	II	propan -2-ol
III	$n$ -butyl alcohol	Butan-1-ol

Identify I, II and III from the above table.

• A. I $\rightarrow$ methanol; II $\rightarrow$ tert-propyl alcohol; $II \rightarrow CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} OH$
• B. I $\rightarrow$ methanol; II $\rightarrow$ propyl alcohol; $III \rightarrow CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} OH$
• C. $I \rightarrow$ methanol; II $\rightarrow$ iso-propyl alcohol; $III \rightarrow CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} CH _{2} OH$
• D. I $\rightarrow$ methanol; II $\rightarrow$ tert-propyl alcohol; $III \rightarrow CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} OH$
