Definition: organic compounds containing OH group in the molecule >, General Formula for Alkohol is CyHane; OH : 3, Naming of alcohol: quid and isa complex mixture of many hydrocarbor y ns Rules: (a) The ending ‘e’ of alkane is replaced by ‘ol’, therefore alcohol is named as ‘Alkanol ie. Alkane a + Alkanol 01 eg’s (Methanol) OH (Ethanol) “-H2- CH:-CH:-OH — (Butanol) (b) The position OH group is mentioned from propanol onwards and numbering always starts from that terminal carbon atom from which OH group is closer, mention the position of the OH group before the name of parent alkanol.
