Question

how many cyclic and acyclic isomers are possible for the formula c3h6o? a)4. b)5. c)9. d)10. answer me fast

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept:

The molecular formula C3H6O may refer to:

Alcohols:

Allyl alcohol or 2-propen-1-ol, CH2=CH-CH2OH

cyclopropanol or cyclopropyl alcohol, cyclo (-CH2-CH2-HOHC-)

Aldehydes:

propanal or propionaldehyde, CH3CH2-CHO

Ketones:

Propanone or acetone, CH3-CO-CH3

Enols (tautomers of aldehydes and ketones)

(E)-1-propen-1-ol, CH3-CH=CH-OH

(Z)-1-propen-1-ol, CH3-CH=CH-OH

propen-2-ol, CH2=C(OH)-CH3

Ethers:

methyl vinyl ether or methoxyethene, H3C-O-CH=CH2

oxetane or trimethylene oxide, cyclo(-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-)

1,2-epoxy-propane or Propylene oxide or methyl oxirane, cyclo(-C*H(CH3)-CH2-O-), C* chiral

(R)-(+)-methyl oxirane

(S)-(–)-methyl oxirane

Explanation:

Degree of Unsaturation :

$\begin{aligned}C_{3} H_{6} 0 \quad D O U &=\frac{2 C+2+N-H-X}{2} \\&=\frac{2(3)+2+0-6-0}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1\end{aligned} \mathrm{HO}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}$

Cyclic and acyclic isomers are possible for the formula $C_{3} H_{6} 0$ are 9.
