Chemistry Name Molecule: 2-Butanol Naming and Diagrams for Homework Solution

[Lizzy]

Homework Statement

I have to name the particular molecule that i am looking at and fill in the blanks with that name.

Homework Equations

Choose from:
2-methoxybutane, 3-butene, 1-butene, butanal, 2-chlorobutane, ethylmethyl ether, butylmethyl ether, or 2-butanone

The Attempt at a Solution

The first thing that I did was identify the central molecule as 2-butanol, but i am no quite sure what the arrows indicate. Whether its the removal of the compound next to the arrow or the addition of it; if someone could identify the type of diagram and nudge me in the right direction that would be fantastic!

It is an orgo way of stating "something reacting with things written above arrow yielding".
