Well what have you got so far........?

There is #"2-methyl-pentan-2-ol"#.....

And......#"3-methyl-pentan-3-ol"#.....

And.....#"2,3-dimethyl-butan-2-ol"#.....

Is that it for the #3^@# alcohols? All care taken, but no responsibility admitted. Don't forget to use a model set to inform your reasoning. There is nothing childish about such use.
