- ✓Propane triol $-1,2,3$
- BPropylene trialcohol
- CPropyl glycol
- DHydroxy methyl glycol
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Propane triol $-1,2,3$
a
The parent hydrocarbon contains $3$ carbon atoms.
The parent hydrocarbon contains $3$ carbon atoms.
Hence its name is propane. Each carbon atom has a hydroxyl group. suffix is used for representing $3$ hydroxyl groups (triol).
Hence, the correct IUPAC name of glycerine is Propane-$1,2,3$-triol.
