Which isomer of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{OH}\) has highest boiling point?
- A n-Butyl alcohol
- B Isobutyl alcohol
- C sec-Butyl alcohol
- D tert-Butyl alcohol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) n-Butyl alcohol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Branching \(\alpha \frac{1}{\text { Boiling point }}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{n}\)-Butyl alcohol has highest boiling point.
