Alcohols an Overview
• Alcohols are derived from many types of compounds
• Alkenes, alkyl halides, ketones, esters, aldehydes, and
•
•
•
carboxylic acids can provide the alcohol
Alcohols are among most common natural materials
The alcohol hydroxyl can be converted to many other
functional groups
This makes alcohols useful in synthetic planning

Diethyl ether is used industrially as a solvent
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a solvent that is a
cyclic ether
Stable and un-reactive
Sulfides (R–S–R) are sulfur analogs of ethers
Spring, 2011
46
Nomenclature of Ethers

•
organic substituents and adding the word ether
If other functional groups are present, the ether
part is considered an alkoxy substituent

place of ether for simple compounds
– alkylthio in place of alkoxy

•
•
ether)
