CHEM1010/General Chemistry_________________________________________Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Today’s Outline ..Alcohols ..Phenols ..Carboxylic acids
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Hydroxyl group and functional group …Review of electronic structure of hydroxyl group, -OH Valence electronic structure of -OH: .. ·O:H .. -OH has one single unpaired electron available for bonding
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Alcohols …Alcohols are the hydrocarbons with one or more of H(s) replaced by –OH group(s) R-OH, their names are based on corresponding alkanes R- represents a carbon backbone Examples of alcohols CH3-OH, or CH3OH, methanol CH3CH2-OH, or CH3CH2OH, ethanol CH3CH2CH2-OH, or CH3CH2CH2OH, 1-propanol
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Multifunctional Alcohols …Some Alcohols have more than one –OH group HO-R-OH, Examples of multifunctional alcohols HO-CH2-CH2-OH, or HOCH2CH2OH, ethylene glycol CH3-CH-CH2, propylene glycol | | OH OH CH2CH-CH2, | | | OH OH OH, glycerol
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Alcohols …Methanol (methyl alcohol) the simplest alcohol also called wood alcohol, once made of wood modern industrial production: CO(g) + 2H2 = CH3OH a solvent, a chemical intermediate, can be used as a replacement for gasoline in automobiles
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Alcohols …Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) the simplest alcohol also called grain alcohol, can be made of grains via fermentation yeast C6H12O6 = 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2 Industrial production: CH2=CH2 + H2O + acid = CH3CH2OH industrially made ethanol cannot be used in beverages by law because of toxic impurities such as methanol
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Alcohols …Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) gasoline in many parts of USA has up to 10% of ethanol from fermentation because of a large surplus of corn a solvent, a chemical intermediate, can be used as a replacement for gasoline in automobiles
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Toxicity of alcohols …alcohols are generally toxic methanol can be oxidized in the living body to formaldehyde (HCHO). Drinking as little as 1 oz or ~30 mL or 2 table spoonfuls of methanol can cause blindness and even death 1 pint or ~500 mL of pure ethanol, rapidly ingested, will kill most people. alter brain cell functions, nerve damage, shorten life span, affecting babies from drunk mothers
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Multifunctional alcohols …ethylene glycol is the main ingredient in many permanent antifreeze mixtures Propylene glycol is now used as a safer permanent antifreeze, not poisonous Glycerol is a sweet, syrupy liquid made as a by-product from fats during soap manufacture. It is used in lotions to keep the skin soft and as food addictive to keep cakes moist.
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Phenols …Phenols are the organic compounds in which one or more –OH is attached to a benzene ring: benzene ring-OH, OH antiseptic, germicidal

Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Review of electronic structure of oxygen …Review of electronic structure of oxygen Valence electronic structure of O .. O: or O= .. O can have two unpaired electrons available for bonding with C to form a double bond
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Carboxylic acids Carboxylic acids are the hydrocarbons with the following functional group and structure: O || carboxyl group -C-OH or -COOH General formula: O || R-C-OH or RCOOH
Chapter 9. (L37)-Organic Chemistry • Carboxylic acids Examples of carboxylic acids R = -H, formic acid O || H-C-OH or HCOOH or methanoic acid first obtained by destructive distillation of ants
