The primary alcohols have general formulas RCH 2 OH. The simplest primary alcohol is methanol (CH 3 OH), for which R = H, and the next is ethanol, for which R = CH 3, the methyl group. Secondary alcohols are those of the form RR'CHOH, the simplest of which is 2-propanol (R = R' = CH 3). For the tertiary alcohols, the general form is RR'R"COH.
The primary alcohols have general formulas RCH 2 OH; secondary ones are RR'CHOH; and tertiary ones are RR'R"COH, where R, R', and R" stand for alkyl groups. Subcategories This category has the following 3 subcategories, out of 3 total.

A primary alcohol is an alcohol in which the hydroxy group is bonded to a primary carbon atom. It can also be defined as a molecule containing a “–CH 2 OH” group. [1] In contrast, a secondary alcohol has a formula “–CHROH” and a tertiary alcohol has a formula “–CR 2 OH”, where “R” indicates a carbon-containing group.
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
no visible reaction at room temperature and forming an oily layer only on heating: primary, such as 1-pentanol; solution forms oily layer in 3–5 minutes: secondary, such as 2-pentanol; solution forms an oily layer immediately: tertiary, such as 2-methyl-2-butanol; The Lucas test is usually an alternative to the oxidation test - which is used ...
