|
$CH_{3} - CH_{2} - C - CH_{2} - CH_{3}$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ OH$
B) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH - CH_{3}$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ OH$
C) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{2} - CH_{2}OH$
D) $CH_{3} - CH_{2} - CH - CH_{2} - CH_{2}OH$
|
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ CH_{3}$
