Answer Details
2-methylbutan-2-ol is an example of a tertiary alkanol. An alkanol is a type of organic compound that contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom in an alkane chain. In this case, the -OH group is attached to a tertiary carbon atom, which means that the carbon is bonded to three other carbon atoms. Tertiary alkanols have the hydroxyl group attached to a tertiary carbon atom, while primary and secondary alkanols have the hydroxyl group attached to a primary or secondary carbon atom, respectively.
