Which of the following are benzylic alcohols?

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (ii) and (iii). The most prominent way to identify benzylic alcohol is to check if an -OH group is attached to a sp^{3} hybridised carbon atom on an aromatic ring. As in the case of option (ii) and (iii), the sp^{3} hybridised carbon is attached to a benzene ring these are benzylic alcohols but in option (i) and (iv), the sp^{3} hybridised carbon is not attached to a benzene ring. So, option (ii) and (iii) are the answers.
