List of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol

Question

Is there a list of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols examples anywhere?

There can be infinitely many alcohols of each kind. Why would you want a list anyway? It's like asking for a list of instances you went to the restroom. — William R. Ebenezer, Jun 22 '19 at 03:49
I googled it and kept getting results that had nothing to do with Alcohols. — OogaBooga420, Jun 22 '19 at 04:47
If you know, what primary, secondary, tertiary alcohol is, you need not a list. If you do not know it, learn it first. — Poutnik, Jun 22 '19 at 08:15

If there are 2 hydrogen atoms connected to the carbinol carbon(the one with a hydroxyl group) its a primary alcohol.

If there is only one hydrogen atom connected to the carbinol carbon it's a secondary alcohol.

The one with no hydrogen atoms is a tertiary alcohol.

Now you can make the list yourself.

Unless the carbon belongs to aromatic system, in such a case we consider it rather as a phenolic than alcoholic group. – Poutnik Jun 22 '19 at 08:10
