Classification of alcohol
According to number if hydroxyl group attached to their molecule
-Monohydric
-Dihydric
-Trihydric
According to number of carbon atoms bound to which the hydroxyl group is bound
-primary,secondary,tertiary
Are converted into ketones (RC=OR) on treatment with oxidizing agents
Secondary alcohols
Doesn’t normally reacy with oxidizing agents because they dont have a hydrogen on the carbon atom to which the -OH group is bonded.
Tertiary alcohols
A molecule which has a hydroxyl group OH group directly bonded to an alkene C=C
Alkenols
Alkene alcohol
Enols
Reagent used for test for enol structure
FeCl3- traditional colrimetric test for phenols
Enols interconvert with carbonyl compounds that have an a-hydrogen, like ketones and aldehydes. The compound is deprtonated on one side and protonated on another side, whereas a singlebond and a doublebond are exchanged.
Keto-enol tautomerism
Maldehyde
Cinnamon
Vannilin
Vanilla
Benzaldehyde
Almond
