Alcohols
In an alcohol, a hydroxyl group (—OH) is attached to a carbon chain.
In a phenol, a hydroxyl group (—OH) is attached to a benzene ring.

Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.
Classification is determined by the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon bonded to the hydroxyl.Primary (1º) Secondary (2º) Tertiary (3º)1 group 2 groups 3 groups H CH3 CH3

The IUPAC system replaces the -e in the name of the alkane main chain with –ol.
Common names for simple alcohols use the alkyl name followed by alcohol.

CH3CH3ethane CH3CH2OH ethanol (ethyl alcohol)

Naming Phenols
A phenol is a benzene ring with a hydroxyl group.
For two substituents, assign C-1 to the carbon attached to the –OH.
Number the ring to give the lowest numbers.
The prefixes o, m, and p are used for common names.

Thiols
Thiols are carbon compounds that contain the –SH group.
In the IUPAC name, thiol is added to the alkane name of the longest carbon chain.
![Page 13: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Thiols in Nature
Thiols: Often have
strong or disagreeable odors.
Are used to detect gas leaks.
Are found in onions, oysters, and garlic.

Ethers contain an -O- between two carbon groups.
Simple ethers are named by listing the alkyl names in alphabetical order followed by ether.

IUPAC Names for Ethers
In the IUPAC system, the shorter alkyl group and the oxygen are named as an alkoxy group attached to the longer alkane.
methoxy propane
CH3—O—CH2—CH2—CH3
Numbering the longer alkane gives
1-methoxypropane.

Boiling Points of Alcohols
Alcohols contain a strongly electronegative O in the OH groups.
Thus, hydrogen bonds form between alcohol molecules.
Hydrogen bonds contribute to higher boiling points for alcohols compared to alkanes and ethers of similar mass.
![Page 18: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Boiling Points of Ethers
Ethers have an O atom, but there is no H attached.
Thus, hydrogen bonds cannot form between ether molecules.
![Page 19: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Solubility of Alcohols and Ethers in Water
Alcohols and ethers are more soluble in water than alkanes because the oxygen atom can hydrogen bond with water.
Alcohols with 1-4 C atoms are soluble, but alcohols with 5 or more C atoms are not.
![Page 20: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Oxidation and Reduction In organic chemistry, oxidation is a loss of
hydrogen atoms or a gain of oxygen. In an oxidation, there is an increase in the
number of C-O bonds. Reduction is a gain of hydrogen or a loss of
oxygen. The number of C-O bonds decreases.
![Page 23: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Ethanol: Acts as a depressant. Kills or disables more
people than any other drug. Is metabolized at a rate of
12-15 mg/dl per hour by a social drinker. Is metabolized at a rate of 30 mg/dl per hour by an
alcoholic.

Oxidation of Thiols. Mild oxidizing agens remove two hydrogen
atoms from two thiol molecules. The remaining pieces of thiols combine to
form a new molecule, disulfide, with a covalent bond between two sulfur atoms.

Aldehydes and Ketones The carbonyl group
is found in aldehydes and ketones.
In an aldehyde, an H atom is attached to a carbonyl group.
In a ketone, two carbon groups are attached to a carbonyl group.

Consists of a sigma and pi bond.
Has a partially negative O and a partially positive C.
Has polarity that influences the properties of aldehydes and ketones.

Chiral Objects
Chiral compounds have the same number of atoms arranged differently in space.
A chiral carbon atom is bonded to four different groups.
Your hands are chiral. Try to superimpose your thumbs, palms, back of hands, and little fingers.
![Page 47: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Mirror Images The mirror images of chiral compounds cannot
be superimposed. When the H and I atoms are aligned, the Cl and
Br atoms are on opposite sides.
![Page 48: Organic I Prof. Dr. Abdellatif M. Salaheldin Chemistry Department](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56814496550346895db13730/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Achiral Structures are Superimposable
When the mirror image of an achiral structure is rotated, the structure can be aligned with the initial structure. Thus this mirror image is superimposable.

Fischer Projections
A Fischer projection: Is a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-
dimensional molecule. Places the most oxidized group at the top. Uses vertical lines in place of dashes for bonds
that go back. Uses horizontal lines in place of wedges for
bonds that come forward.

the —OH on the right.

oxidized ([O]=-2H=oxidation) to carboxylic acids in aqueous media.

Tollens’ Test
Tollens’ reagent, which contains Ag+, oxidizes aldehydes, but not ketones.
Ag+ is reduced to metallic Ag, which appears as a “mirror” in the test tube.

Tollens’ reagent detects an aldehyde Tollens’ reagent (a solution of Ag+ in aqueous NH3) can be
used to detect the presence of the aldehyde group in the unknown sample.
As the oxidation of the aldehyde proceeds, silver metal is deposited on the walls of the reaction flask as a shiny mirrow.
If upon addition of the Tollens’ reagent to the unknown, the test tube becomes silvery, the unknown is an aldehyde.

Benedict’s Test Benedict’s reagent,
which contains Cu2+,
reacts with aldehydes that have an adjacent OH group.
When an aldehyde is oxidized to a carboxylic acid, Cu2+ is reduced to give Cu2O(s).

Addition Reactions Polar molecules can add to the carbonyl groups
of aldehydes and ketones. The negative part of the added molecule bonds
to the positive carbonyl carbon. The positive part of the added molecule bonds
to the negative carbonyl oxygen.

Acetal Formation
Alcohols add to the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones.
The addition of two alcohols forms acetals.

Hemiacetal Formation The addition of one alcohol to an aldehyde or
ketone forms an intermediate called a hemiacetal. Usually, hemiacetals are unstable and difficult to
isolate.

Cyclic Hemiacetals
Stable hemiacetals form when the C=O group and the —OH are both part of five- or six-atom carbon compounds.
