Question:
The structure for neo-heptyl alcohol is:
The structure for neo-heptyl alcohol is:
Show Hint
“Neo” = \((CH_3)_3C-\) group (tert-butyl skeleton). Look for 3 methyl groups on one carbon.
Updated On: Apr 15, 2026
- \(n-C_7H_{15}OH\)
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
Prefix “neo-” indicates a tert-butyl group \((CH_3)_3C-\).
Step 1: Structure of neo-heptyl alcohol. Heptyl alcohol has 7 carbons. Neo-heptyl alcohol contains \((CH_3)_3C-\) group with \(-CH_2OH\): \[ (CH_3)_3C-CH_2-CH_2OH \]
Step 2: Identify correct option. Only option (B) shows tert-butyl group \((CH_3)_3C-\) attached to \(-CH_2OH\).
Step 3: Conclusion. Option (B) is the correct neo-structure.
