I've been given the formula C5H12O. I need to determine the structure and IUPAC name by looking at the IR, proton NMR, and carbon NMR.

Alcohol isomers : 
(1) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH = n-pentanol (pentane-1-ol) 
(2) CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 = 2-pentanol (pentane-2-ol) 
(3) CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3 = 3-pentanol (pentane-3-ol) 
(4) CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2OH = 2-methyl-1-butanol 
(5) CH3CH2C(CH3)(OH)CH3 = 2-methyl-2-butanol
