This document provides information about alcohols including their nomenclature, classification, properties, preparation methods, and important examples. Alcohols are defined as compounds with a hydroxyl group attached to a saturated carbon. They are named using IUPAC nomenclature by identifying the carbon chain and hydroxyl group position. Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the carbons bonded to the hydroxyl carbon. Their properties include higher boiling points than alkanes and solubility in water. Common preparation methods include hydration of alkenes, addition to carbonyl groups, and reduction of carboxylic acids. Important alcohols include methanol, ethanol, glycerol
4. Definition
Alcohol are compounds in wich a hydroxyl
group (-OH) is attached to a saturated carbon
The general formula of alcohol is ROH (R=
alkyl, substitution alkyl, or syclic hidrokarbon)
Example:
CH3-OH
(metanol)
CH3CH-OH (etanol)

5. Nomenclature of Alcohols
IUPAC System
Step 1 : Name the longest chain to which the hydroxyl
group is attached. (alkane e + ol = Alkanol)
Step 2 : Number the longest chain to give the lowest
number to the carbon attached to the hydroxyl group
Step 3: Indicate the position of the hydroxyl group by the
number of the carbon atom to which is attached
Step 4: Indicate the position of other substitutients or
multiple bonds by number

7. Classification of Alcohols
Monohydric alcohols are classified as primary
(1o), secondary (2o), or tertiary (3o) :
In primary (1o) alcohols the OH is attached to
a C atom which is attached to one other
In secondary (2o) alcohols the OH is attached
to a C atom which is attached to two other
In tertiary (3o) alcohols the OH is attached to
a C atom which is attached to three other

10. Physical Properties of Alcohols
Boiling Points
Alcohol have hinger boiling points than alkanes of
similar molecular weight. Alcohol boiling points
increase as carbon-chain length increases.
Example:
CH3-OH
methyl alcohol BM= 32 oC= 65
CH3-CH2-OH
ethyl alcohol
BM= 46 oC= 78
CH3-CH2-CH2-OH n-propyl alcohol BM= 60 oC= 97

11. Physical Properties of Alcohols
Solubility
The polar part of the alcohol molecule increases
solubility in water, but the non polar part
decrease solubility.
Size of the non polar alkyl group is large the
solubility of alcohol in water decrease
dramatically

7. Oxydation
Different types of alcohols give different products on
oxidation. Most widely used oxidizing agents are
KMnO4 + H2SO4 and Na2Cr2O7 + H2SO4
Alcohols
21. a) Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes,
which are, in turn, easily axidized to
carboxilic acids. The reaction can be stoped
at the aldehyde stage, by removing them
from the oxidizing medium as they are
farmed (e.g. Destilation)
