Study Notes
Organic Chemistry Unit 7 Objectives
- After studying this unit, students will be able to name alcohols, phenols, and ethers according to the IUPAC system of nomenclature
- Students will discuss the reactions involved in the preparation of alcohols from alkenes, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids
- They will also discuss the reactions involved in the preparation of phenols from haloarenes, benzene sulphonic acids, diazonium salts, and cumene
- Students will learn about the reactions for the preparation of ethers from alcohols and alkyl halides with sodium alkoxides/aryloxides
- They will be able to correlate physical properties of alcohols, phenols, and ethers with their structures
- Students will discuss chemical reactions of the three classes of compounds based on their functional groups
- Alcohols, phenols, and ethers are basic compounds for the formation of detergents, antiseptics, and fragrances
- Substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon by another atom or a group of atoms results in the formation of alcohols, phenols, and ethers
Test your understanding of alcohols, phenols, and ethers with this quiz. Evaluate your knowledge of IUPAC nomenclature, reactions for alcohol preparation from various compounds, and reactions for phenol preparation from different sources.
