Question

why alcohols containing more than one - oh group in the same carbon atom are unstable?

Answer 1

Answer:

compound containing two −OH groups attached to one carbon atom is unstable but which one of the following is stable?

Answer 2

Answer:

You can stabilize them with sufficient electron-withdrawing groups on adjacent carbons, but in general, one hydroxyl will pick up an extra proton and form H2O+ which is an excellent leaving group.

Hope this helps!!!!
