Hydrogen bonding in alcohols and phenols
Alcohols and phenols form hydrogen bonds, and hence they have relatively high boiling points. This also makes the lower alcohols miscible with water. As the R group becomes larger, the solubility of alcohols in water decreases dramatically.Slide5
Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding occurs between molecules where you have a hydrogen atom attached to one of the very electronegative elements - fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen.Slide6
Acidity of Alcohols
Acids are proton donors.Slide7
The acidity increases as the negative charge at the OH decreases (delocalized):
phenols are more acidic than Alcohols due to resonance effect (delocalization of the negative charge)Slide8
Types of alcohols
Primary alcohols
(1°): contains an OH- functional group that has one or no carbon atoms attached to it; Example: Methyl alcoholSecondary Alcohols (2°): contains an OH- functional group that has two carbon atoms attached to it;
Example: Isopropyl acohol.
Tertiary Alcohols
(3°): contains an OH- functional group that has
three carbon atoms attached to it

OH is toxic. (ingestion of 15 ml blindness, 30 ml death).
Should never be inhaled nor applied to the skin. (good absorption from both tissues) Slide10

Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol)
The
property of ethanol as an antiseptic agent is based on its ability to denaturate proteins.
Cave: the antiseptic property of 70% ethanol solution (in water) is better than 100 % ethanol.
Explanation
: 100 % ethanol leads to the
coagulation
(
تخثر
)
of proteins in the cell wall of bacteria (or other one-cell organisms), which builds a ring preventing further ethanol to enter the inside of the bacteria and to coagulate other proteins there. 70% ethanol, however, coagulates proteins to a slower rate allowing ethanol to penetrate (
نفذ الى
) the cell inside of bacteria and coagulate proteins there. Slide12
Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol)
Ethanol ( better than water) can be used for sponge baths to reduce fever (
حرارة) from patients. When placed on skin rapid removal. Evaporation needs heat, which comes from patient’s skin lowering temperature. (cave: ethanol is flammable(قابلة للاشتعال))
Ethanol is a solvent for many substances. A solutions are called tinctures (Example: iodine tincture).
Alcohol is used as a beverage depression of nervous system, removal of individual’s inhibition. Excessive use cirrhosis (liver destruction)Slide13
Isopropyl alcohol
According to IUPAC isopropyl alcohol is called 2-propanol.
Is toxic, and therefore should not be taken internally.It does not get into the skin. Therefore, it can be used as rubbing alcohol. Slide14
Ethylene glycol
IUPAC (International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry) name: 1,2
ethanediolEthylene glycol is a dihydric alcohol:It has a high boiling
point
due to extensive
hydrogen bonding.
It is completely miscible with water.
It is
extremely toxic
if taken internally (Metabolism to oxalic acid
Crystallization as calcium oxalate kidney stones).
Antidote: administration of high levels of ethanol
Why? High levels cause the liver to metabolize the ethyl alcohol rather than the toxic alcohol.
Uses: Skin moistures, anti freeze in cars. Slide15
Glycerol
IUPAC name: glycol 1,2,3
propanetriolGlycerol is a trihydric alcoholImportant constituent of body lipids.Byproduct by the manufacture of soap.
Uses: preparation of cosmetics, hand lotions, suppositories, in rubber tubing and stoppers, preparation of nitroglycerin.
Nitroglycerin (Glycerin + Nitric acid) is an explosive but also an important medication for the treatment of heart pain by dilatation of coronary arteries
better supply of blood of heart muscle.
Slide16
Other alcohols:Menthol
Menthol is a cyclic compound.
It has a cooling refreshing effect, when rubbed on the skin. It is used in cosmetics, shaving lotions, cough drops, and nasal sprays.Slide17

Thiols
Thiols are sulfur analogs to alcohols but contain –SH functional group in place of an –OH group.
Nomenclature: -Add the adding thiol to the name of the parent hydrocarbon -The e-ending of the parent hydrocarbon is not deleted. -Common Names: Alkyl group + the word mercaptan.
Methanethiol
methylmercaptan
isopropylmercaptan
2-propanethiol Slide20
Thiols
Thiols have a disagreeable odor (Onion[1-propanethiol, garlic, added to natural gas to enable better detection).
They do not exhibit hydrogen bonding lower boiling point than the corresponding alcohols.They are less soluble in water than corresponding alcohols.
Thiols are important in enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
Preparation: heating of alkyl halide * Sodium hydrogen sulfide:Slide21
Thiols
Thiols are easily oxidized to disulfides
Example for such an oxidation from the biochemistry:
Disulfide bonds are
involved in the formation of the tertiary structures of proteins.Slide22
Phenols

acids and alcohols are not.

O
Phenol is posinous if taken internally, and externally it causes deep burns on the skin.
Antidote on the skin: 50 % alcohol, glycerin, sodium bicarbonate solution, water.
Phenol is a disifictant for surgical instruments, clothing, toilts and sinks.
Phenol is used in the manufacture of dyes (
الأصباغ
)
and plasticsSlide23
Phenols
Phenol is a standard reference for germicidal (
مبيد للجراثيم) activity disinfectants (مطهر).Phenol coffecient 5 = 1% desinfectant = 5% Phenol solution.
Cresol (mixture) is a better antiseptic(
مطهر
) than phenol but should be used only externally.
o-Cresol
m-Cresol
p-CresolSlide24
Phenols
Hexyl resorcinol is a better antiseptic and germicide than resorcinol and is used in mouth washes.
Butylated hydroxy anisol (BHA)and butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) are used as food preservative (cave: allargy).

Ethers
Properities of ethers
No hydrogen bonds low boiling points easily moved and recoveredInert (do not react with other substances) good solvents Extraction of organic material.
Very flammable (care must be taken)
Formation of peroxides if left in the lab for long time (extermely explosive)
not allowed to stand exposed to air for long period of time. Slide26
Nomenclature
IUPAC:
If different alcohols are reacted a mixed ether is formed; Mixed ethers are named as alkoxy derivatives (المشتقات) of hydrocarbons with the shorter chain named as the alkoxy group and the longer chane as the alkane.Common system: Mixed ethers are named by listing the alkyl groups followed by the word ether.
Methoxy propane
Methyl propyl ether
Diethyl ether
Ethyl etherSlide27
Uses
Ethylether has been used as anesthetic (
مخدر) for long time (muscle relaxant (ارتخاء العضلات), little effect on respiration rate, blood pressure, pulse rate). However: flammable, irritant to the membranes of the respiratory tract, nausea (غثيان). Replaced by non flammable enflurane and isoflurane
Enflurane
Isoflurane
