Q & A

What are alcohols?

Alcohols are compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane are replaced by a hydroxyl group (−OH).

What is a hydroxyl group?

The hydroxyl group is a functional group consisting of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an oxygen atom.

How are phenols defined?

Phenols are organic compounds where one hydrogen attached to a benzene ring is replaced by a hydroxyl group.

What is the classification of alcohols based on hydroxyl groups?

Alcohols are classified as monohydroxy (one hydroxyl group), dihydroxy (two hydroxyl groups), or trihydroxy (three hydroxyl groups).

What are the different types of alcohols based on the carbon atom's hybridization?

Alcohols can be classified into primary, secondary, tertiary, allylic, and benzylic alcohols, based on the hybridization of the carbon atom bonded to the hydroxyl group.

What is the general formula for ethers?

Ethers are represented by the general formula R-O-R', where R and R' are alkyl or aryl groups.

How can alcohols be named using the IUPAC system?

In the IUPAC system, the longest carbon chain with the hydroxyl group is identified, the 'e' ending of the alkane name is dropped, and 'ol' is added as a suffix.

What methods are used to prepare alcohols?

Alcohols can be prepared through acid-catalyzed hydration, hydroboration-oxidation, reduction of aldehydes and ketones, reduction of carboxylic acids and esters, and from Grignard reagents.

What are the physical properties of alcohols and phenols regarding boiling points?

Alcohols and phenols have higher boiling points than ethers and hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight due to hydrogen bonding, and their boiling points increase with the number of carbon atoms.

Why are alcohols and phenols generally soluble in water?

Alcohols and phenols are soluble in water because they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
