Alcohol
1) 3,3,-Dimethyl-2-butanol
2) 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol
3) 2-methyl-2-pentanol
4) 3-methyl-3-pentanol
5) 2-methoxyethanol
6) 2-methyl-3-pentanol
7) 2-Chloroethanol
Ketone
1) 4-methyl-2-pentanone (isobutyl methyl ketone)
2) 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone (diisopropyl ketone)
3) 3-Hexanone
4) 2-Hexanone
5) 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one
Aldehyde
