Vedclass · Answer

(B) benzylic alcohol is one where the $-OH$ group is attached to a carbon atom next to an aromatic ring.$1$. In $C_6H_5CH_2OH$,the carbon attached to $-OH$ is bonded to one carbon (the ring) and two hydrogens,making it a primary $(1^{\circ})$ benzylic alcohol.$2$. In $C_6H_5CH(OH)CH_3$,the carbon attached to $-OH$ is bonded to one carbon (the ring) and one methyl group,making it a secondary $(2^{\circ})$ benzylic alcohol.$3$. In $C_6H_5C(CH_3)_2OH$,the carbon attached to $-OH$ is bonded to the ring and two methyl groups,making it a tertiary $(3^{\circ})$ benzylic alcohol.$4$. In $C_6H_5C(CH_3)(C_2H_5)OH$,the carbon attached to $-OH$ is bonded to the ring,one methyl,and one ethyl group,making it a tertiary $(3^{\circ})$ benzylic alcohol.Thus,the correct option is $B$.
