Which isomer of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{OH}\) has lower boiling point?
- A n-Butyl alcohol
- B Isobutyl alcohol
- C Sec-Butyl alcohol
- D tert-Butyl alcohol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) tert-Butyl alcohol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Boiling point decreases with an increase in branching. Amongst all the isomers of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{OH}\), tert-Butyl alcohol has the maximum branching and hence, it has the lowest boiling point.
