test 2 lecture Flashcards
alcohol contain
OH group
how to name alcohol
change “e” to “ol” in parent chain. with c double bond “#-alken-#-ol”. with c triple bond “#-alkyn-#-ol”
phenol
benzene with OH group
names with phenols
use o, m, p with two substituents. use #s for 3 or more
are alcohols and phenols polar or non polar
polar
what IMFs do alcohols and phenols have
permanent dipole-dipole and h-bonding
acid
compound loosing a. proton (loosing an h, h donors)
base
a compound gaining a proton (gaining an h, h acceptors)
conjugate base
compound formed when a proton is removed from the acid
conjugate acid
compound formed when a proton is added to the base
are conjugate acids and bases weak or strong
weak
is a less or more positive pKa value a stronger acid
a less positive pKa means a stronger acid
how do we predict equilibrium of an equation
equilibrium favors the side with the weaker acid
alcohols can be deprotionated with
strong bases because alcohols are weakly acidic
what makes a strong acid
strong acids produce stable conjugate bases
are phenols or alcohols more acidic
phenols
alcohols can ask as
an acid or base because the lone pair on O allow it to act as a weak base
oxidation
a reaction that increases the number of C-O bonds by removing C-H or O-H bonds
Jones reagent
CrO3, H+, strong oxidizer
PCC
mild oxidizer
primary alcohol oxidized with jones reagent into
carboxylic acid
primary alcohol oxidized with PCC into
aldehyde, x2 into carboxylic acid
secondary alcohols oxidized into
ketone, further oxidation does not happen
tertiary alcohols oxidized
no reaction, does not happen
