Question

ii. Write structure of optically active alcohol having molecular formula C4H10O

Answer 1

Description: 2-Butanol, or sec-butanol, is a chemical compound with formula C4H10O. This secondary alcohol is a flammable, colorless liquid that is soluble in 12 parts water and completely miscible with polar organic solvent such as ethers and other alcohols.

Answer 2

2-Butanol is having the Molecular formula $C4H10O$

Explanation:

• 2-Butanol or secondary butanol is a chemical compound which is having chemical formula $C4H10O$.
• It is secondary alcohol which is a flammable, colorless liquid.
• It is soluble in 12 parts water and is completely miscible with a polar organic solvent such as ethers and other alcohols.
• 2-Butanol is optically active and it has chiral carbon at C - 2 position.
• n-Butanol,sec-Butanol,tert-Butanol,Isobutanol are the four alcohol with molecular formula $C4H10O$.
