Question

Which of the following structures correctly and specifically represents a tertiary allylic alcohol?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

An allylic alcohol has its $-OH$ group attached to an $sp^3$ hybridized carbon that is directly adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond. In $CH_2=CH-C(CH_3)_2OH$, this allylic carbon is attached to three other carbons (two methyls, one vinyl), making it tertiary.
