Question

The total number of cyclic alcohols (including steroisomers) possible with the formula `C_(4)H_(7)OH` is
A. `5`
B. `4`
C. `7`
D. `6`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
Start with a ring of three carbon atoms and then move to the ring of four carbon atoms.

underset("Propylene glycol")(CH_(3)overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)CH_(2)OH) underset("Glycerol")(HOCH_(2)overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)CH_(2)OH)`
Thus a total of seven alcohols (including stereoisomers) is possible.
