... Oxidation of Alcohols Primary alcohols can be oxidised to form carboxylic acids. For example when ethanol is oxidised by an acidified solution of potassium dichromate it is converted to ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, a carboxylic acid. The equation for the oxidation of the primary alcohol ethanol is ...

... Geometry of E2 Elimination Like the SN2 substitution (which requires backside attack), the E2 elimination reaction has a geometric preference for an anti-coplanar orientation of the H-C-C-X bonds. In some cases, this may result in a stereospecific reaction, where one stereoisomer of the halide resu ...

... ¾Aldehydes have one hydrogen atom bonded to the carbonyl group (methanal, the simplest, has two). ¾The group is somewhat more polar than ethers, but like ethers it cannot donate a hydrogen bond to itself.

Alcohol



In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (–OH) is bound to a saturated carbon atom. The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethyl alcohol (ethanol), the predominant alcohol in alcoholic beverages.The suffix -ol appears in the IUPAC chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the highest priority; in substances where a higher priority group is present the prefix hydroxy- will appear in the IUPAC name. The suffix -ol in non-systematic names (such as paracetamol or cholesterol) also typically indicates that the substance includes a hydroxyl functional group and, so, can be termed an alcohol. But many substances, particularly sugars (examples glucose and sucrose) contain hydroxyl functional groups without using the suffix. An important class of alcohols, of which methanol and ethanol are the simplest members is the saturated straight chain alcohols, the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH.
