Isomers

[sam0001]

How many isomers are there of the molecular formula C4H8O? What kinda answers are you guys getting?

Any restrictions to this? Coz I have 20 so far...!

Any restrictions to this? Coz I have 17 so far...!

Not trusting Wikipedia and Yahoo Answers but what they tell me is that there's 37 isomers where there are 15 isomers if you don't count stereoisomers??

15 w/o stereochemistry? hmm, i have 20 atm:

butanal
but-2-en-1-ol
but-3-en-1-ol
but-4-en-1-ol
CH3CH=CHOCH3 (ether)
CH2=CHCH2OCH3
CH2=CHOCH2CH3
CH3CH2C(OH)=CH2
CH3CH=C(OH)CH3
CH2=CHCH(OH)CH3
CH3CH2COCH3
CH3CH(CH3)CHO
CH2=C(CH3)CH2OH
CH2C(CH3)=CHOH
CH2=C(CH3)OCH3
tetrahydrofuran
cyclobutanol
CH2OH group bonded to a 3-carbon saturated ring
CH3O group bonded to a 3-carbon saturated ring
CH3 group bonded to a 4-membered ring containing oxygen

Yeah wasn't too sure about whether it was for stereochemistry or not..
But here's the wiki link for isomers of C4H8O
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4H8O

It's in French but if you translate it, it should give the isomers... although it may not be right since it's Wikipedia

hahahaha.....filter your brain (and by extension, your fingers) when answering these questions, Thushan....its VCE Chem! Gave me a good laugh though

Oh crap, sorry! Yes there are restrictions!! Saturated carbon chain.

^ Asks for isomers within VCE course, receives 20 isomers ranging from tetrahydrofuran to cyclobutanol. :p

New meme? Bad luck VCE student?
