|
Properties of Alcohols
|
- more polar that hydrocarbons causing hydrogen bonding b/c of the -OH group
- solubility in water depends on the # of carbons (organic components) associated with the -OH group - the more carbons, the less water soluble - with fewer carbons, the influence of the -OH group is greater in terms of solubility |

|
Dehydration

- result of dehydration of an alcohol is an alkene |
|
Oxidation

|
|
Secondary alcohol oxidizes
|
results in a ketone + water
|
|
