Study Notes
Carboxylic Acids
- Carboxylic acids are formed by the oxidation of aldehydes.
Aldehydes and Ketones
- Aldehydes and ketones have a carbonyl functional group in common.
- In aldehydes and ketones, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a carbon atom and a hydrogen or an alkyl group respectively.
Carboxyl Functional Group
- The carboxyl functional group is characterized by the carbonyl carbon being bonded to an oxygen and an -OH group.
Phenol Acidity
- Phenol is more acidic than aliphatic alcohols due to the resonance stabilization of the phenoxide ion.
Ethers
- A characteristic feature of ethers is that they are neutral compounds and do not react with NaOH.
Alcohols Preparation
- A common method for the preparation of alcohols is the hydration of alkenes in the presence of an acid catalyst.
