Question

How many alcohols with molecular formula C4H10O are chiral in nature?

Answer 1

there are four isomeric alcohol of formula C4H100

Answer 2

One alcohol with molecular formula $C_4H_{10}O$ is Chiral in nature.

• In chemistry, the term chiral refers to that structure in which carbon is surrounded by four different groups.
• The following are the alcohols with the molecular formula  $C_4H_{10}O$:

1. 1-Butanol
2. 2-Butanol
3. 2-methyl-1-propanol
4. 2-methyl-2-propanal

• Among the above mentioned, in Butanol carbon atom is surrounded by four different groups.
• Thus out 4 alcohols with molecular formula $C_4H_{10}O$ , 2-Butanol is chiral due to the presence of four different groups.
