Introduction • Alcohols constitute a class of compounds which are regarded as hydroxy derivatives of hydrocarbons. • Based on the no. of hydroxyl groups the alcohols are classified as mono-, di- and trihydric accordingly, if the molecules contain 1, 2 or 3 –OH groups respectively. The alcohols which contain four or more no. of –OH groups are called polyhydric alcohols.
Classification CH 3, 1 o, 2 o, 3 o • Primary: carbon with –OH is bonded to one other carbon. • Secondary: carbon with –OH is bonded to two other carbons. • Tertiary: carbon with –OH is bonded to three other carbons. • Aromatic (phenol): -OH is bonded to a benzene ring.
IUPAC Nomenclature • Find the longest carbon chain containing the carbon with the -OH group. • Drop the -e from the alkane name, add -ol. • Number the chain, starting from the end closest to the -OH group. • Number and name all substituents.
Examples: 2 -methyl-1 -propanol 2 -butanol 2 -methyl-2 -propanol 3 -bromo-3 -methylcyclohexanol
Unsaturated Alcohols • Hydroxyl group takes precedence. Assign that carbon the lowest number. • Use alkene or alkyne name. pent-4 -ene-2 -ol
Hydroxy Substituent • When -OH is part of a higher priority class of compound, it is named as hydroxy. • Example: 4 -hydroxybutanoic acid 7
Common Names • Alcohol can be named as alkyl alcohol. • Useful only for small alkyl groups. • Examples: isobutyl alcohol sec-butyl alcohol
Naming Diols • Two numbers are needed to locate the two -OH groups. • Use -diol as suffix instead of -ol. 1, 6 -hexanediol
Glycols • 1, 2 diols (vicinal diols) are called glycols. • Common names for glycols use the name of the alkene from which they were made. 1, 2 -ethanediol 1, 2 -propanediol ethylene glycol propylene glycol

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes �Anti-Markovnikov addition �No shifts/rearrangements �Syn addition
Grignard Addition Reactions • • • Addition to Aldehydes/Ketones Addition to Esters Addition to Epoxides
Grignard Additions to Aldehydes/Ketones Formation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols
Grignard Additions to Esters Formation of secondary and tertiary alcohols
Grignard Addition to Epoxides
Physical Properties • Unusually high boiling points due to hydrogen bonding between molecules. • Small alcohols are miscible in water, but solubility decreases as the size of the alkyl group increases.
Boiling Points
Solubility in Water Solubility decreases as the size of the alkyl group increases.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES The hydroxy gp present in alcohols is a very reactive gp and the characterstic rxns of alcohols are the rxns of –OH gp. In general, these are divided into 3 categories: I. Rxns involving the cleavage of O-H bond II. Rxns involving the cleavage of C-OH bond III. Rxns involving both alkyl and hydroxyl gps of the acohol molecules.
Typical Alcohol Reactions �Salt formation �Dehydration �Oxidation �Alkyl halide formation �Ester formation �Ether synthesis �Periodic acid cleavage of glycols �Haloform reaction of methyl carbinols �THP acetal formation

Distinction b/w 1 o, 2 o & 3 o alcohols • LUCAS TEST Lucas reagent : equimolar mixture of c. HCl and anhyd. Zn. Cl 2 Appearance of cloudiness in the rxn mixture indicates the conversion of alcohol into alkyl halide. Observation 30 alcohol: - reacts immediately & cloudiness appears immediately. 20 alcohol: - reacts within about 5 minutes when the cloudiness appears. 10 alcohol: - does not react appreciably at room temp. & therefore no cloudiness appears. • An older method known as Victor Meyer’s test is seldom used these days.
