Question

1. Write structural formulas of isomers with the same molecular formula of C₄H₁₀O for:
   1. one primary alcohol

2. one secondary alcohol

3. one tertiary alcohol

2. Explain the difference between a tertiary alcohol and a tertiary amine. Your explanation must contain a example of a tertiary alcohol and a tertiary amine. State the name of the amines and alcohol.

Answer 1

a. PRIMARY ALCOHOL-

1-butanol

b. SECONDARY ALCOHOL-

2-butanol

c. TERTIARY ALCOHOL

t-butanol

The differences between tertiary alcohol and tertiary amine are-

	TERTIARY ALCOHOL	TERTIARY AMINE
1.	Tertiary alcohol has the general formula RR'R"C-OH where R, R’ and R” are hydrocarbon groups.	Tertiary amine has the general formula R R’ R” N where R, R’ and R” are hydrocarbon groups.
2.	It consists of a central Oxygen atom with three organic groups bound to it which may be same or different.	It consists of a central nitrogen atom with three organic groups bound to it which may be same or different.
3.	The word 'Tertiary' refers to Oxygen atom	The word 'Tertiary' refers to Nitrogen atom
4.	example- t-butanol	example- N,N-dimethylaniline
