• When -OH is part of a higher priority class of
compound, it is named as hydroxy.
• Example:

Naming Phenols
• -OH group is assumed to be on carbon 1.
• For common names of disubstituted phenols,
use ortho- for 1,2; meta- for 1,3; and para- for
1,4.

Physical Properties
• Unusually high boiling points due to
hydrogen bonding between molecules.
• Small alcohols are miscible in water, but
solubility decreases as the size of the
alkyl group increases.

Acidity of Alcohols
• pKa range: 15.5-18.0 (water: 15.7)
• Acidity decreases as alkyl group
increases.
• Halogens increase the acidity.
• Phenol is 100 million times more acidic
than cyclohexanol!

Reaction with Carbonyl
• R:- attacks the partially positive carbon in the
carbonyl.
• The intermediate is an alkoxide ion.
• Addition of water or dilute acid protonates the
alkoxide to produce an alcohol.

Grignard Reactions
with Acid Chlorides
and Esters
• Use two moles of Grignard reagent.
• The product is a tertiary alcohol with
two identical alkyl groups.
• Reaction with one mole of Grignard
reagent produces a ketone
intermediate, which reacts with the
second mole of Grignard reagent.

Limitations of Grignard
• No water or other acidic protons like
O-H, N-H, S-H, or -C—C-H. Grignard
reagent is destroyed, becomes an
alkane.
• No other electrophilic multiple bonds,
like C=N, C—N, S=O, or N=O.

Reduction of Carbonyl
• Reduction of aldehyde yields 1º alcohol.
• Reduction of ketone yields 2º alcohol.
• Reagents:
Sodium borohydride, NaBH4
Lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH4
Raney nickel

Sodium Borohydride
• Hydride ion, H , attacks the carbonyl
carbon, forming an alkoxide ion.
• Then the alkoxide ion is protonated by
dilute acid.
• Only reacts with carbonyl of aldehyde or
ketone, not with carbonyls of esters or
carboxylic acids.
