i think it can. dunt know...
the name means that the OH group is linked to the second carbon
THNX FOR THE NAME
BUT IN PASTPAER ATP A QUESTION CAME

Q) a student found that different alcohol,altough having the same formula did not give a carboxylic acid as the product,suggest the name and structure of this alcohol

name.....................................


structure __________________________

so i posted its answer asking its reasons ..!! pls confirm me soon

dats what the difference in isomers but why cant it can produce carboxylic ????????????????/ thats the real confusion !!!!!!!!!!
That's my answer lol, in this isomer, OH is in the middle, so maybe its more stable like this. Besides, the carboxyl group is always on the end of the structure so it can not be oxidised! MY GUESS.
