-CH2OH is a | primary alcohol |
>CHOH | is a secondary alcohol |
C.OH is a | tertiary alcohol |
CH3.CH2.OH is called | ethanol |
CH3OH is called | methanol |
CH3.CH2.CH2OH is called | propan-1-ol |
CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.OH is called | butan-1-ol |
CH3.CHOH.CH3 is called | propan-2-ol |
CH3.CHOH.CH2.CH3. | butan-2-ol |
PCl5 is called | phosphorus pentachloride (or phosphorus V chloride) |
Observation CH2OH (or any alcohol) with PCl5 | white acidic fumes |
white acidic fume from CH2OH & PCl5 is | hydrogen chloride |
PCl5 is a test for the presence of | OH |
CH3CO.OH with PCl5 gives white acidic fumes because | it contains an OH! |
The products of CH3CH2OH & PCl5 are | CH3CH2Cl + POCl3 + HCl |
The products of CH3.CHOH.CH3 & PCl5 are | CH3.CHCl.CH3 + POCl3 + HCl |
products of CH3OH & PCl5 are | CH3Cl + POCl3 + HCl |
Observation for an alcohol reacts with sodium dichromate in acid solution | it changes from orange to green |
When potassium dichromate changes orange to green it is beingit changes from orange to green | reduced (& its oxidising the other reactant) |
CH3CH2OH & K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid NO REFLUX gives | CH3CHO |
CH3CHO is called | ethanal |
ethanal is an | aldehyde |
alcohol & K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid NO REFLUX gives aldehyde when | the alcohol is a primary alcohol |
CH3CH2OH & K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid + REFLUX gives | CH3COOH |
CH3COOH is a | carboxylic acid |
CH3.CHOH.CH3 & K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid NO REFLUX ...... | forms CH3.CO.CH3 |
CH3.CO.CH3 is an example of a | ketone |
CH3.CO.CH3 is called | propanone |
only.............. form a ketone when they are oxidised | secondary alcohols |
.......... alcohols do not form a simple oxidation product | tertiary alcohols |
oxidation using K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid is a way of... | distinguishing between primary secondary and tertiary alcohols |
Concentrated H2SO4 is able to remove H2O from alcohols. This is called a | dehydration reaction |
CH3.CH2OH (+ H2SO4) - H2O gives | C2H4 |
CH3.CHOH.CH3 (+ H2SO4) - H2O gives | CH2=CH.CH3 |
CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.OH (+ H2SO4) - H2O gives | CH3.CH2.CH=CH2 |
When dehydration of an alcohol occurs using H2SO4 | An H & OH are removed from ADJACENT carbon atoms |
any alcohol + KBr + H2SO4 (heat under reflux) | OH replaced by Br |
CH3.CH2OH + KBr + H2SO4 (heat under reflux) | CH3.CH2Br |
CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.OH + KBr + H2SO4 (heat under reflux) | CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.Br |
any alcohol + PCl5 | OH replaced by Cl |
Red phosphorus + iodine | OH replacesd by I |
CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.OH to CH3.CH2.CH=CH2 reagent needed .. | conc H2SO4 |
CH3.CH2OH to CH3CHO reagent needed is... | K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid NO REFLUX |
CH3.CH2OH to CH3COOH reagent needed | K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid & REFLUX |
CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.OH to CH3.CH2.CH2.CH2.Br reagent needed | KBr + H2SO4 (heat under reflux) |
CH3.CHOH.CH3 to CH3.CHCl.CH3 reagent needed | PCl5 room temperature |
CH3.CHOH.CH3 to CH3.CO.CH3 reagent needed | K2Cr2O7 + sulphuric acid |
