Carbinols
General structure of carbinols
General structure of a carbinol, where R, R 1 and R 2 can be H , aliphatics , aromatics or other radicals.

Carbinols (also carbinols ) is an outdated term for mostly secondary or tertiary , less often primary alcohols , which are understood as derivatives of methanol (old name carbinol ). The name is made up of the substituents on the central carbon atom and the group name -Carbinol . The name carbinol was proposed by Hermann Kolbe in 1864 . Kolbe referred to the non-existing methyl group CH 3 - as carbine. In order not to have to use the “inconveniently long word carbinoxyhydrate” , he introduced the term carbinol. This designation no longer corresponds to the IUPAC nomenclature rules since 1957 .
