Study Notes

Objectives of Unit 7

Name alcohols, phenols, and ethers according to the IUPAC system of nomenclature
Discuss reactions involved in preparing alcohols from: • Alkenes • Aldehydes • Ketones • Carboxylic acids
Discuss reactions involved in preparing phenols from: • Haloarenes • Benzene sulphonic acids • Diazonium salts • Cumene
Discuss reactions for preparing ethers from: • Alcohols • Alkyl halides and sodium alkoxides/aryloxides
Correlate physical properties of alcohols, phenols, and ethers with their structures
Discuss chemical reactions of the three classes of compounds based on their functional groups

Importance of Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers

Alcohols, phenols, and ethers are basic compounds for the formation of: • Detergents • Antiseptics • Fragrances
Substitution of one or more hydrogen atom(s) from a hydrocarbon by another atom or a group of atoms results in the formation of these compounds
