Reagents for deprotonating alcohols - to produce H2 gas
strong base
Reagents for deprotonating alcohols - to produce alkoxide ion
Li or
Na or
K
Factors affecting acidity of alcohols
resonance
induction
solvation effect
Factors affecting acidity of alcohols - resonance
resonance structures makes it more acidic
Factors affecting acidity of alcohols - induction
electron withdrawing of electronegative atoms increases stability, making more acidic
Factors affecting acidity of alcohols - solvation effects
sterically hindered solutions arent stabilised, so less acidic
Preparation of alcohols
made by substitution reactions
Preparation of alcohols - primary substrate
NaOH
Preparation of alcohols - tertiary substrates
H2O
Preparation of alcohols - secondary substrates
neither SN1 or SN2 is effective
