How would you name: #CH_3CH_2(OH)C_2CH_2CH_3#?

Answer 1

The formula doesn't make sense.....

The section #....(OH)C_2CH_2...# cannot be correct. There is a carbon atom there which appears to have nothing bonded to it except another carbon!

Should it be #....(OH)CHCH_2...#? If so, then the product would be 2-butanol.
