pentanol (5-C-alcohol)

1. a. The simplest 5-C alcohol might be 1-pentanol. That is a primary alcohol, but its formula is C5H12O. So it has too many hydrogens. To remove two H, you need to either include one double bond or one ring.

Note that putting a double bond right next to the -OH group is not good; this gives an ene-ol (enol), and is not stable (Ouellette 2/e Sect 4.10).
