Alcohols R-O-H
Classification CH3, 1o, 2o, 3o
Nomenclature:
Common names: “alkyl alcohol”
IUPAC: parent = longest continuous carbon chain containing the –OH group.
alkane drop -e, add –ol
prefix locant for –OH (lower number for OH)
CH3 CH3
CH3CHCH2CHCH3 CH3CCH3
OH OH4-methyl-2-pentanol tert-butyl alcohol
2-methyl-2-propanol 2o 3o
CH3
HO-CHCH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2-OH
sec-butyl alcohol n-propyl alcohol 2-butanol 1-propanol 2o 1o
Physical properties of alcohols:
polar + hydrogen bonding
relatively higher mp/bp
water insoluble!
(except for alcohols of three carbons or less)
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2-OH
hydrophobic hydrophilic
Oldest known organic synthesis:
“fermentation”
Sugar + yeast ethyl alcohol + CO2
Grape juice => “wine”
Barley => “beer”
Honey => “mead”
Rice => “sake”
~5-11% ethanol
Distillation of fermented beverages to produce “distilled spirits” with a greater percentage of ethyl alcohol (bp 78.3 oC).
Ethyl alcohol forms a binary azeotrope with water:
95% ethanol + 5% water (bp 78.15oC)
Diluted with water => “vodka” 40% ethyl alcohol in water.
“proof”: when aqueous alcohol is placed on a sample of gunpowder and ignited, the gunpowder will burn at a minimum concentration of 50% alcohol. This is called “100-proof”.
(proof = 2 * alcohol percent)
Add oil of juniper => gin
Add peat smoke => scotch
Age in a burned barrel => whiskey
Add peppermint => schnapps
Etc.
Ethyl alcohol is a poison. LD50 = ~10g/Kg orally in mice.
Nausea, vomiting, flushing, mental excitement or depression, drowsiness, impaired perception, loss of coordination, stupor, coma, death may occur. (intoxication)

1. Reaction of alcohols with HX: (#1 synthesis of RX)
R-OH + HX R-X + H2O
a) HX: HI > HBr > HCl
b) ROH: 3o > 2o > CH3 > 1o
c) May be acid catalyzed
d) Rearrangements are possible except with most 1o alcohols.
CH3CH2CH2CH2-OH + NaBr, H2SO4, heat CH3CH2CH2CH2-Br
n-butyl alcohol n-butyl bromide
1-butanol 1-bromobutane
CH3 CH3
CH3C-OH + HCl CH3C-Cl (room temperature) CH3 CH3
tert-butyl alcohol tert-butyl chloride
2-methyl-2-propanol 2-chloro-2-methylpropane
CH3CH2-OH + HI, H+, heat CH3CH2-I
ethyl alcohol ethyl iodide
ethanol iodoethane
Mechanism?
CH3-OH and most 1o alcohols react with HX via SN2 mechanism
3o and 2o react with HX via SN1 mechanism
Both mechanisms include an additional, first step, protonation of the alcohol oxygen:
R-OH + H+ R-OH2+ “oxonium ion”
Whenever an oxygen containing compound is placed into an acidic solution, the oxygen will be protonated, forming an oxonium ion.
Mechanism for reaction of an alcohol with HX:
CH3OH or 1o alcohols:
1) R-OH + HX R-OH2 + X
2) X + R-OH2R-X + H2O
RDS
SN2
Mechanism for reaction of an alcohol with HX:
2o or 3o alcohols:
SN1
1) R-OH + HX R-OH2 + X
2) R-OH2 R + H2ORDS
3) R + X R-X
May be catalyzed by acid.
SN2 rate = k [ ROH2+ ] [ X- ]
SN1 rate = k [ ROH2+ ]
Acid protonates the -OH, converting it into a better leaving group (H2O), increasing the concentration of the oxonium ion, and increasing the rate of the reaction.
Rearrangements are possible (except with most 1o alcohols):
CH3 CH3
CH3CHCHCH3 + HBr CH3CCH2CH3 OH Br
Br-
CH3 CH3 [1,2-H] CH3
CH3CHCHCH3 CH3CHCHCH3 CH3CCH2CH3
OH2+ + + 2o carbocation 3o carbocation
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2-OH + HBr, H+, heat
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2-Br
1o alcohol:No rearrangement, SN2
In the reaction of most 1o alcohols with HX you don't haveto worry about the possibility of rearrangements. The mechanismis SN2 and does not involve carbocations.
