Is cyclohexane-1-3-diol a primary or a secondary or a tertiary alcohol?

In: Organic Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Just check for how many carbon groups are attached to the carbon group that OH is on. Since OH can only bond to one carbon, you see how many other carbons are attached to that one. The maximum is 3, since carbon usually only has 4 bonds total, making it tertiary structure. Likewise, 2 carbon groups attached to that carbon makes it secondary, and one C group is primary. Just write out a diagram and it should be easy!
