What are the isomers of hexanol?
What are the differences between these isomers?
The differences between these isomers are primarily due to the position and arrangement of the hydroxyl group and the branching of the carbon chain. For example, 1-hexanol has a straight carbon chain with the hydroxyl group at position one, while 2-hexanol has a hydroxyl group at position two and a methyl group at position one, causing the chain to be slightly branched. The other isomers have different combinations of these factors, leading to unique structures and properties.
