Alcohols
a compound that has a hydroxyl group bonded to a saturated, alkane-like carbon atom

Classes of Alcohols
1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Tertiary
Primary Alcohols
2 hydrogen and 1 organic substituent group attached to a Carbon (along with the -OH)
Secondary Alcohols
2 organic groups and 1 hydrogen (and 1 -OH) attached to a carbon
Tertiary Alcohol
Only organic groups attached to the Carbon.
does have the -OH group attach to the carbon.
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
Reactions of Alcohols
1. Dehydration
2. Oxidation
Dehydration
- reverse of hydration of an alkene
- result of dehydration of an alcohol is an alkene
Oxidation
- increases the number of carbon-oxygen bonds
- decreases the number of carbon-hydrogen bonds
- oxidation of an alcohol results in a carbonyl compound (aldehyde or ketones)
- increase the number of Carbon-Oxygen bonds and decreases the number of Carbon-Hydrogen bonds
Primary alcohol oxidizes
results in an aldehyde + water
Secondary alcohol oxidizes
results in a ketone + water
Tertiary alcohol oxidizes
does not react with oxidizing agents b/c no hydrogen available to attach to the -OH group to form water
2 steps in alcohol oxidation
1. make into an aldehyde and water (ethanol is a primary alcohol)

2. make into an acetic acid (carboxylic acid)
