  1. 15.6Reactions of Alcohols:A Review and a Preview

  2. Table 15.2 Review of Reactions of Alcohols Reaction with hydrogen halides Reaction with thionyl chloride Reaction with phosphorous trihalides Acid-catalyzed dehydration Conversion to p-toluenesulfonate esters

  3. New Reactions of Alcohols in This Chapter Conversion to ethers Esterification Esters of inorganic acids Oxidation Cleavage of vicinal diols

  4. 15.7Conversion of Alcohols to Ethers

  5. RCH2O CH2R H OH RCH2O CH2R H OH Conversion of Alcohols to Ethers Acid-catalyzed Referred to as a "condensation" Equilibrium; most favorable for primary alcohols H+ +

  6. H2SO4, 130°C Example 2CH3CH2CH2CH2OH CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH2CH2CH2CH3 (60%)

  7. •• OSO2OH H CH3CH2O •• H + – + OSO2OH CH3CH2O •• H Mechanism of Formation of Diethyl Ether Step 1: H
