tertiary
count the H attached to the C-OH carbon
none in this case, so it is tertiary
(one would be secondary, two would be primary)

common. the reason being that the alcohol team (-OH) is expounded to in basic terms another carbon. • A tertiary alcohol (3°) is while the alcohol team is expounded to 3 different carbon atoms. An occasion is two-methyl-2-propanol (CH3)3COH. • A secondary alcohol (2°) is while the alcohol team is expounded to 2 different carbon atoms. An occasion may well be 2-propanol (CH3)2CHOH. • a typical alcohol (a million°) is while the alcohol team is expounded to in basic terms another carbon atom. An occasion may well be methanol CH3OH. for this reason, that's a typical alcohol.

tertiary alcohol. The C-OH carbinol carbon is substituted by two ethyl groups and a 3-bromopropyl group.
