Question

Give various functional isomers of 2-phenyl ethanol and give their isomeric relations.

Answer 1

(1) and (2), (1) and(3), (1) and (4), (1) and (5), (1) and (6), (1) and (7), (1) and (8), (1) and (9), (1) and (10), and (1) and (11) are isomers.
(2) and (3), (2) and (4), (3) and (4), (5) and (6), (5) and (7), (6) and (7), (8) and (9), (8) and (10), and (9) and (10) are positional isomers.
All phenolic compounds `[(2)-(7)]` and ethers `[(8)-(11)]`are functional isomers. Ethers `[(8)-(10)]` are metamers with ether (11)

(1) and (2), (1) and (3), (1) and (4), (1) and (5), (2) and (3), (2) and (4), and (2) and (5) are chain isomers.
(3) and (4), (3) and (5), and (4) and (5) are position isomers.
