Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Alcohol

The alcohol in the given compound is represented as a main functional group.The representation of the alcohol is shown as R-OH.

  • The 1°OH is shown by the1°carbon.
  • The 2°OH is shown by the 2°carbon.
  • The 3°OH is shown by the 3°carbon.

 Step 2: Ether

The ether group is also a main functional group in the given compound. It is represented as R-O-R’.

03

Explanation

The one -OH is at the tertiary carbon, and the other -OH is at the secondary carbon. Therefore, one 3°OH and one2°OH are present.

There are 5 ether groups and 2 alcohol groups in the given compound.
