Vedclass · Answer

(A) $1$. $A$ benzylic alcohol is one where the $-OH$ group is attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to a benzene ring.$2$. $A$ primary benzylic alcohol has the structure $Ar-CH_2OH$, where the carbon atom attached to the $-OH$ group is bonded to only one other carbon atom (the benzene ring).$3$. In $C_6H_5CH_2OH$ (benzyl alcohol), the $-OH$ group is attached to a $CH_2$ group which is directly bonded to the benzene ring $(C_6H_5)$. Thus, it is a primary benzylic alcohol.$4$. $C_6H_5 - CH(CH_3)OH$ is a secondary benzylic alcohol.$5$. The other options are not benzylic alcohols as they lack a benzene ring.
