Reactions of Alcohols • • Reaction Summary: 4. Hydration: Alkene + water --> alcohol 7. Dehydration: Alcohol + heat --> alkene + H 2 8. Oxidation: Pri. Alcohol + (O) --> aldehyde 9. Oxidation: Sec. Alcohol + (O) --> ketone 9 B. Oxidation: Tert. Alcohol + (O) --> no reaction 10. Oxidation: Aldehyde + (O) --> Acid 11. Ether Synthesis: Alcohol + alcohol --> ether + HOH

4. Hydration Reaction • Alkene + HOH� --> alcohol • HOH molecule adds to carbons with double bond.

7. Dehydration of Alcohol to Alkene • Subtraction: Remove -OH from alcohol carbon • Remove -H from a neighbor carbon
