Alcohol #
Class of hydrocarbons
- 1- prefix indicates the H was replaced by -OH at the outermost carbon atom. 2- is the middle. No such thing as 3-propanol - probably due to stereoisometry? It also doesn’t seem trivial to me that some representations of 1-propanol have it on the top Hs and not the side?
(The pattern here is the number of carbon-carbon bonds.)
