In organic if you have more than one functional group.. how do you know which will react in preference?
In the attachment I've got an organic compound which has an ether and alcohol.
In terms of naming the alcohol gets preference.
It reacts with excess HI and the alcohol apparently doesn't react.. chemical changes occur with the ether..
