PPT-Physiological Properties and Uses of Alcohols and Ethers

911 Methanol Formed by catalytic reduction of CO and H 2 at high temperatures and pressure Used as a solvent a fuel for camp stoves and soldering torches and as a synthetic intermediate Highly poisonous May lead to blindness or death. Alcohols and Ethers. Alcohols. Alcohols are compounds whose molecules have a hydroxyl group attached to a saturated carbon atom. The saturated carbon may be that of a simple alkyl group . Examples. Or the saturated carbon may be connected to an . 9-4. Organic esters are derivatives of carboxylic acids.. Inorganic esters are the analogous derivatives of inorganic acids.. Organic and Inorganic Esters from Alcohols. 9-4. Alcohols react with carboxylic acids to give organic esters.. 9-6. Ethers are prepared by S. N. 2 reactions.. Ethers can be prepared by the reaction of an alkoxide with a primary haloalkane or sulfonate ester under S. N. 2 conditions.. The parent alcohol of the alkoxide can be used as the solvent, however other polar solvents are often better, such as DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) or HMPA (hexamethylphosphoric triamide).. Learning Objectives:. Know the general formula for alcohols.. Be able to name alcohols.. Describe the shape of alcohols.. Classify primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.. Describe the physical properties of alcohols.. Epoxides. 1. Ethers and Their Relatives. An . ether. . has two organic groups (alkyl, aryl, or vinyl) bonded to the same oxygen atom, R–O–R. . Diethyl ether is used industrially as a solvent. (R-OH) and (R-O-R). Members. Smita Jirayingcharoen (Mudmee). Pattraporn Kheerinpharadorn (BB). Sumanas Chamneandamrongkarn (Punpun).

They are important solvents and synthesis intermediates. Phenols contain an OH group connected to a carbon in a benzene ring. Unit 7. Ethers!. Ether – organic compounds . where two alkyl or aryl groups joined singly with an oxygen atom. R-O-R’ R-O-Ar Ar-O-Ar. Ethers. Symmetrical ethers – 2 identical groups bonded to the oxygen. Ether Nomenclature. Compounds that contain two organic groups attached to an oxygen atom. General formula is . 1. Common Names. Name both groups attached to the oxygen in alphabetical order.

By the end of this chapter the student will:. . know the structure of alcohol. Knew the different classes of alcohols.. Knew the nomenclature of Alcohols . Knew the physical Properties. . Ch. 11.4. Combustion of alcohols . Alcohols undergo complete combustion to form carbon dioxide and water.. Denatured alcohol is a useful portable fuel (e.g. for camping stoves) as, unlike LPG, it does not need to be transported in heavy, specialized containers. It is also used as a solvent.. Most of the alcohols are known to be . colourless. liquids or even are said to behave as solid at room temperatures. Alcohols with less molecular weight are said to be highly soluble in water; and with their increase in molecular weight, they tend to become less soluble and their .
