The name of the alcohol of the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O is
2,3 dimethyl 2 butanol
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Alcohol is a carbon compound derived from alkanes with a general formula
![\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{C_nH_{2n+2}O}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%7B%5Cboxed%7B%5Cboxed%7B%5Cbold%7BC_nH_%7B2n%2B2%7DO%7D%7D%7D)
Alcohol has a -OH functional group
Based on the location of the bound -OH functional group, alcohol can be divided into three types namely:
- 1. primary alcohol, the -OH group is attached to a primary C atom (carbon atom which is bound directly to one C atom at another)
- 2. secondary alcohol, the -OH group is bound to the secondary C atom (carbon atom which is bound directly to the other two C atoms)
- 3. tertiary alcohol, the -OH group is bound to a tertiary C atom (a carbon atom that is bound directly to three other C atoms)
For tertiary alcohol is denoted by notation 3°
In the statement about the problem there is alcohol with a molecular formula:
![\large{\boxed{\bold{C_6H_{14}O}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%7B%5Cboxed%7B%5Cbold%7BC_6H_%7B14%7DO%7D%7D%7D)
Because there are 2 methyl (CH₃) branches attached to the main chain, the main chain only has 4 C atoms, so the main chain in alcohol is called butanol
C-C-C-C
The methyl branch will be located on C atoms No. 2 and 3 of the main chain because when placed at the end it will form a new main chain that has more than 4 C atoms.

CH₃ C
H₃
The -OH function group we put on a tertiary C atom that is C atom no 2 or 3 (from the same left or right because both C atoms are tertiary)

C-C-C-C

CH₃ C
H₃
So the name of the alcohol is (the -OH functional group gets a smaller number)
2,3 dimethyl 2 butanol
