- if the dehydration can occur by the removal of different hydrogens, the hydrogen is removed from the carbon bonded to the fewest hydrogens H H H H H H H H C C C H C H C C H C C H H H OH H H H Acid Heat Catalyst 2-butene 2-butanol
2. Oxidation Reactions - oxygen is added to the compound or hydrogen is removed
H H H H H H H H C C C H C O C C H C C H OH H H H H H H - primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes Oxidizing Agent aldehyde functional group butanal 1-butanol
H H H H OH H H H H O C C H C H C C C C H C H C C H H H H H H H H H - secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones keto group Oxidizing Agent 3-pentanone 3-pentanol
3. Esterification Reactions - condensation reaction - alcohol and organic acid - one water molecule is removed between the two organic molecules - hydrogen is removed from the –OH on the alcohol - hydroxyl is removed from the acid

3. Esterification Reactions - alcohol and organic acid - methanol and propanoic acid: methyl propanoate - ethanol and butyric acid: ethyl butyrate - propanol and pentanoic acid: propyl pentanoate - butanol and hexanoic acid: butyl hexanoate - octanol and acetic acid: octyl acetate - many esters have pleasant, fruity odors
