Question
Discuss the classification of monohydric alcohols containing $C_{sp}^2-OH$ bond.

Answer

$\rightarrow$ Compounds containing $C_{sp}^2-OH$ bond :
These alcohols contain $-OH$ group bonded to a carbon$-$carbon double bond i.e., to a vinylic carbon or to an aryl carbon.
These alcohols are also known as vinylic alcohols.
$\rightarrow$ Vinylic alcohol: $\ce{CH2= CH - OH}$
