Assigning Priority
• Alkenes and alkynes are considered to have
equal priority
• In a molecule with both a double and a triple
bond, whichever is closer to the end of the chain
determines the direction of numbering.
• In the case where each would have the same
position number, the double bond takes the
lower number.
• In the name, “ene” comes before “yne” because
of alphabetization.

Cis-Trans (Z-E) Isomerism in Alkenes
If each end of the double bond is attached to two
different groups, then the compound exists in two
different forms called (Diastereomers; These are non
mirror image stereoisomers).
If the two groups are identical we distinguish the two
isomers by adding the prefix cis (same side) or trans
(opposite sides)

If the groups attached to the double bond are different, we

Hydrogen bonding in alcohols and phenols
• Alcohols and phenols form hydrogen bonds, and hence
they have relatively high boiling points. This also makes
the lower alcohols miscible with water. As the R group
becomes larger, the solubility of alcohols in water
decreases dramatically.
Acidity of Alcohols
Acids are proton donors.
The acidity increases as the negative charge at the OH decreases
(delocalized):
a)
phenols are more acidic than Alcohols due to resonance effect
(delocalization of the negative charge)
b)
Nitrophenols are more acidic than phenols due to resonance
and inductive effect (The partial neutralization of the negative
charge by a nearby positive charge).
c) Electron withdrawing groups attached to alcohols increase
the acidity of alcohols due to inductive effect.

sulfur atom is larger than oxygen, and hence carries the
negative charge easily.

Preparation of ethanol
Ethanol is manufactured by reacting ethene with •
steam. The catalyst used is solid silicon dioxide
coated with phosphoric(V) acid. The reaction is
reversible.
•
Only 5% of the ethene is converted into ethanol •
at each pass through the reactor. By removing
the ethanol from the equilibrium mixture and
recycling the ethene, it is possible to achieve an
overall 95% conversion.
Making ethanol by fermentation
This method only applies to ethanol. You can't make any
other alcohol this way.
• Yeast is killed by ethanol concentrations in excess of
about 15%, and that limits the purity of the ethanol that
can be produced. The ethanol is separated from the
mixture by fractional distillation to give 96% pure ethanol.
• For theoretical reasons, it is impossible to remove the
last 4% of water by fractional distillation.
Reactions of Alcohols
Acidic dehydration produces alkenes with the more substituted double
bond
(OH- is a bad leaving group, but H2O is a good leaving group, so the
reaction starts by protonation of the OH group

Reaction of Alcohols with Hydrogen Halides
The general reaction looks like this:
A tertiary alcohol reacts if it is shaken with concentrated
hydrochloric acid at room temperature . This reaction occurs by SN1
mechanism, so the reaction rate is almost the same with HCl, HBr or
HI, since the addition of the halide nucleophile occurs in the second
fast step.
Mechanism of Substitution
SN2 vs SN1 Reactions
SN2 1 > 2 > 3 (due to Steric factor)
Exception !!!!!!!
SN1
3 > 2 > 1 (due to dispersal of charge)
Very slow reaction
Rearrangement
Primary Halides:
The reaction is very slow with primary chlorides, and may occur by
heating them with ZnCl2 for several hours.
Since this reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism, the order of reactivity is:
I > Br > Cl
• Reaction with phosphorus(III) chloride, PCl3
• Alcohols react with liquid phosphorus(III) chloride (also called
phosphorus trichloride) to make chloroalkanes.
Reacting alcohols with sulphur dichloride oxide (thionyl chloride)
• The reaction
• Sulphur dichloride oxide (thionyl chloride) has the formula SOCl2.
• The two other products of the reaction (sulphur dioxide and HCl) are both
gases. That means that they separate themselves from the reaction mixture.
• Hydrogen halides, phosphorous halides or thionyl
halides cannot replace the hydroxyl group of phenols
by halogens

Formation of Alkyl sulfonates
Sulfonates are good leaving groups
Oxidation of Alcohols
Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes using pyridinium
chlorochromate (PCC).
Oxidation by KMnO4, K2Cr2O7 or CrO3 dissolved in sulfuric acid
(Jones’ reagent) gives the corresponding carboxylic acids).
Oxidation of secondary alcohols (gives ketones)
Oxidation of tertiary alcohols (don’t occur)
