Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Isomers

Isomers are molecules with identical molecular formulas but differ in the arrangements of atoms in space.

When molecules have a similar molecular formula and have different atoms in space, the phenomenon is termed isomerization.

02

Isomer of C5H12O

Isomers of C5H12Oare given below. The compound has the same molecular formula. The only difference is in their structure, that is, by changing the position of the hydroxy group and branching the carbon chain as shown:

A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate:

Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:

Carvacrol is a naturally occurring substance isolated from oregano,

thyme, and marjoram. What is its IUPAC name?
