Question

The compound that is not an organic alcohol is:

C 3H 7OH
CH 3CH(OH)CH 3
C 6H 5COOH
(CH 3) 2CHCH(OH)CH 2CH 3

Answer 1

The compound that is not an organic alcohol is C6H5COOH.

C3H7OH is propyl alcohol, CH3CH(OH)CH3 is 2-propanol, and (CH3)2CHCH(OH)CH2CH3 is 3-pentanol, all of which are organic alcohols.

On the other hand, C6H5COOH is benzoic acid, which is not an alcohol but an organic acid. It contains a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group and not the -OH functional group of alcohols.
