Answer
Alcohols that have the formula $C_{5}H_{12}O$ are:
1. pentanol
2. 2-pentanol
3. 3-pentanol
4. 2-methyl-1-butanol
5. 3-methyl-1-butanol
6. 2-methyl-2-butanol
7. 3-methyl-2-butanol
8. 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol
Structure of each compound is written below.
Five no. of ethers have the formula $C_{5}H_{12}O$ namely
methoxy butane, 2-methyl-1-methoxy propane, 2-methyl-2-methoxybutane, ethoxy propane and 2-ethoxy propane
Work Step by Step
Draw 5 C in straight chain and place OH group at C1, C2 and C3 position individually to get 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol and 3-pentanol respectively.
Draw 4 C in straight chain and place OH group at C1 position and one methyl group at C2 position to get 2-methyl-1-butanol.
Draw 4 C in straight chain and place OH group at C1 position and one methyl group at C3 position to get 3-methyl-1-butanol.
Draw 4 C in straight chain and place OH group at C2 position and one methyl group at C2 position to get 2-methyl-2-butanol.
Draw 4 C in straight chain and place OH group at C2 position and one methyl group at C3 position to get 3-methyl-2-butanol.
Draw 3 C in straight chain and place OH group at C1 position and two methyl groups at C2 position to get 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol.
