  6. Methanol: Not a Beverage

  7. Oxidation levels of oxygen- halogen- and nitrogen-containing molecules

  8. Acidity of Alcohols • Due to the electronegativity of the O atoms, alcohols are slightly acidic (pKa 16-18). • The anion dervived by the deprotonation of an alcohol is the alkoxide. • Alcohols also react with Na (or K) as water does to give the alkoxide (red-ox):

  9. Withdrawing Groups Enhance Acidity alcohol pKa CH3OH 15.54 CH3CH2OH 16.00 CF3CH2OH 12.43 (CH3)3COH 18.00 (CF3)3COH 5.4

  10. Phenols are more acidic than alcohols
