Chapter 10 Part A - Reactions of Alcohols Ethers – Not Included Amines – In a separate Chapter
Alcohols Alcohols contain a hydroxy group (OH) bonded to an sp3 hybridized carbon.
2,3-dimethyl-cyclohexanol 4-methyl-cyclopent-2-enol 3-ethyl-5-methyl-cyclohexanol Nomenclature of Alcohols
Preparation of Alcohols • Alcohols are common products of nucleophilic substitution. What are other methods of preparing alcohols?
Reactions of Alcohols - Dehydration • Dehydration is a eliminationreaction.
Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX The reaction of alcohols with HX (X = Cl, Br, I) is a general method to prepare 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl halides.
Oxidation of Alcohols Can be accomplished by inorganic reagents, such as KMnO4, CrO3, and Na2Cr2O7 or by more selective, expensive reagents
Oxidation of Primary Alcohols • To aldehyde: pyridiniumchlorochromate (PCC, C5H6NCrO3Cl) in dichloromethane • Other reagents produce carboxylic acids
Identify the alcohols can be used as the starting materials to form each of the following carbonyl compounds?
