Study Notes
Hydrocarbons, Alcohols, and Phenols
Types of Hydrocarbons
- Saturated hydrocarbons: contain only sigma bonds
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons: contain pi bonds
- Aromatic hydrocarbons: contain a planar, cyclic ring with alternating double bonds
Characteristics of Saturated Hydrocarbons
- Contain only sigma bonds
- Do not react with chemicals like KMnO4 and Na2Cr2O7 at room temperature
- Examples: isopentane
Characteristics of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
- Contain pi bonds
- React with chemicals like KMnO4 and Na2Cr2O7
- Examples: alkenes (e.g., 2-pentene), alkynes (e.g., 1-pentyne), cycloalkenes
Characteristics of Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- Contain a planar, cyclic ring with alternating double bonds
- Do not react with chemicals like KMnO4 and Na2Cr2O7 at room temperature
- Examples: benzene
Alcohols
- Contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to an alkyl carbon
- Can be primary, secondary, or tertiary
Primary Alcohols
- React with Lucas reagent to form an immiscible upper layer of alkyl chloride
- Examples: ethanol
Secondary Alcohols
- React with Lucas reagent to form an immiscible upper layer of alkyl chloride
- Examples: isopropanol
Tertiary Alcohols
- Do not react with Lucas reagent
- Examples: isobutanol
Phenols
- Contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group bonded to an aromatic ring
- Are more acidic than alcohols
- React with FeCl3 to produce a ferric phenoxide salt
- Examples: phenol, thymol, catechol
Baeyer's Test
- A method for detecting unsaturation in hydrocarbons
- Reagents: KMnO4
- Produces a brown MnO2 precipitate
Chromic Acid Test
- A method for detecting aldehydes and ketones
- Reagents: H2CrO4
- Tertiary alcohols do not react
- Primary and secondary alcohols react to form a ketone or carboxylic acid
Lucas's Test
- A method for detecting alcohols
- Reagents: HCl/ ZnCl
- Primary alcohols react immediately with Lucas reagent to form an immiscible upper layer of alkyl chloride
- Secondary and tertiary alcohols react more slowly
