In general, alcohols are named in the same manner as alkanes; replace the -ane suffix for alkanes with an -ol for alcohols CH3CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH2OH OH butane 1-butanol 2-butanol butan-1-ol butan-2-ol 2. Number the carbon chain so that the hydroxyl group gets the lowest number 3. Number the substituents and write the name listing the substituents in alphabetical order. Many alcohols are named using non-systematic nomenclature H C OH 3 OH OH C OH OH HO OH H3C HO H3C benzyl alcohol allyl alcohol tert-butyl alcohol ethylene glycol glycerol (phenylmethanol) (2-propen-1-ol) (2-methyl-2-propanol) (1,2-ethanediol) (1,2,3-propanetriol) 254 127 Alcohols are classified according to the H R C OH C OH H H degree of substitution of the carbon bearing H H 1° carbon the -OH group methanol primary alcohol primary (1°) : one alkyl substituent R R C OH C OH R R secondary (2°) : two alkyl substituents H R 2° carbon 3° carbon tertiary (3°) : three alkyl substituents secondary alcohol tertiary alcohol Physical properties of alcohols – the C-OH bond of alcohols has a significant dipole moment. δ+ H H - - H δ+ δ δ+ δ C Cl C O H H H H µ = 1.9 µ = 1.7 255 Like water, alcohols can form hydrogen bonds: a non-covalent interaction between a hydrogen atom (δ+) involved in a polar covalent bond, with the lone pair of a heteroatom (usually O or N), which is also involved in a polar covalent bond (δ-) O H N H C O C O δ+ δ- δ- δ+ δ- δ+ O H N H C O H H O O H R H H R R O δ O δ δ O δ H O δ H δ H H H H H H H δ δ O δ O Oδ δ O O O δ H H H H R R H H H R O O O H H H H O O H H Hydrogen-bonds are broken when the H H O alcohol reaches its bp, which requires H additional energy 256 128 H2O CH3CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl CH3CH2CH2CH2OH MW=18 MW=58 MW=92.5 MW=74 bp= 100° C bp= 0° C bp= 77° C bp= 116° C CH3CH3 CH3CH2Cl CH3CH2OH MW= 30.1 MW= 64.5 MW=60 bp = -89° C bp= 12° C bp= 78° C 13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols – + R–OH + H2O RO + H3O Increasing stability of the conjugate base R R C N R O X R R R pKa = 50 – 60 35 – 40 15 – 18 -10 – 3 257 Factors affecting the acidity of alcohols and phenols pKa ~ 16 H O + H3CH2C O H + 2 H3CH2C O H3O pKa ~ 10 + O H + H2O O H3O Inductive effects – an atom’s (or group of atoms) ability to polarize a bond through electronegativity differences (σ-bonds) CH3CH2OH FCH2CH2OH F2CHCH2OH F3CCH2OH (F3C)3COH pKa ~ 16.0 14.4 13.3 12.4 5.4 F3C Electron-withdrawing groups make an δ+ C O alcohol a stronger acid by stabilizing F3C F3C the conjugate base (alkoxide) A benzene ring is generally considered electron withdrawing and stabilizes the negative charge through inductive effects 258 129 Resonance effect: the benzene ring stabilizes the the phenoxide ion by resonance delocalization of the negative charge Substituents on the phenol can effect acidity – Electron-donating substituents make a phenol less acidic by destabilizing the phenoxide ion (resonance effect). Electron-withdrawing substituents make a phenol more acidic by stabilizing the phenoxide ion through delocalization of the negative charge and through inductive effects.

Acid-catalyzed hydration (Chapter 9.4) 2. Oxymercuration – demercuration (Chapter 9.5) 3.

These are incompatible with the formation and/or reactivity of the Grignard reagent. 0 _ Mg + H3O HO Br HO MgBr O H HO H _ BrMg Other incompatible groups: -CO2H, -OH, -SH, NH2, CONHR (amides) Reactive functional groups: aldehydes, ketones, esters, amides, halides, -NO2, -SO2R, nitriles Protecting group: Temporarily convert a functional group that is incompatible with a set of reaction conditions into a new functional group (with the protecting group) that is compatible with the reaction.
