AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying a fourth isomeric alcohol with the formula C4H9OH. The user initially struggles to determine this isomer, which is part of a chemistry lab focused on the reactivities of isomeric alcohols. After some contemplation, the user realizes they had already identified three isomers: 1-butanol, 2-butanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol. The fourth isomer is identified as 2-methyl-1-propanol. The conversation highlights the challenges of recognizing isomeric structures in organic chemistry.

Homework Statement


There is a fourth isomeric alcohol with formula C4H9OH. Draw a structural formula for this isomer and write its systematic name.

The Attempt at a Solution


I am stuck...
This is part of a chemistry lab about the reactivities of isomeric alcohols but I have no idea what this 'fourth isomer' could be.
If anyone could even set me on the right track it would be appreciated :smile:

never mind
It was right under my nose the whole time.
I already had; 1-butanol, 2-butanol and 2-methyl-2-proponal.
The one I was looking for was 2-methyl-1-proponal

Thanks anyways
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
