ok so lets say this is methyl: R-CH3 and this is ethyl: R-CH2(CH3) then what is this? R-CH(CH3)(CH3) idk if you can imagine it, its like a methyl group, with two of the hydrogens replaced by methyl groups. _______________________________ edit: nevermind i found it, its prop-2-yl apparently. wow this forum has like no people at any time.

nevermind stupid idea if admin can delete this thread like my last one, please do thanks

wait so if right now you have 1,3,5-trimethylbenzyl hydroxide, then yeah of course simply adding hcl to it should get you 1,3,5-trimethylbenzyl chloride + water. OH radical is a stronger oxidizer than Cl so it would want to be with that hydrogen from hcl more than that hydrocarbon benzyl whatever. but idk how that whole delta formaldehyde protonation thing works. why would carbons attack carbons? idk.
