  4. Functional Groups A functional group is agroup of atoms (or atom) in an organic compound that has specific behavioral characteristics. For example the hydroxyl (–OH ) group is the characteristic functional group for alcohols and phenols. 4

  5. Functional Groups Alcohols,ethers, and phenols are organic compounds that are structural derivatives of water formed by replacing a hydrogen atom with an alky group or aromatic ring. 5

  6. Classification of Alcohols Structurally, an alcohol is derived from an aliphatic (non-aromatic) hydrocarbon by the replacement of at least one hydrogen atom with a hydroxyl group (–OH). Alcohols are represented by the general formula ROH, with methanol (CH3OH) being the first member of the homologous series. (R represents an alkyl or substituted alkyl group.) 6

  7. Classification of Alcohols Models illustrating the structural arrangements of the atoms in methanol and ethanol are shown in Figure 22.1 below. 7

  8. Classification of Alcohols Alcohols are classified by the number of R groups attached to the hydroxyl carbon as shown here. 8

  9. Classification of Alcohols Formulas of specific examples of these classes of alcohols are shown in Table 22.1 on the next slide. Methanol (CH3OH) is grouped with the primary alcohols . . . 9

  11. The –OH group of a 2o alcohol like 2-butanol can be written as a single-line formula by enclosing the ­OH in parentheses. Single-line formulas for 3o alcohols can also drawn this way. Classification of Alcohols 11

  12. Alcohols with more than one –OH group are known as polyhydroxy alcohols. These include diols, triols, and carbohydrates like D-galactose and D-glucose. Classification of Alcohols 12

  13. Each hydroxyl group in a polyhydroxyl alcohol can be classified as 1o, 2o or 3o. Classify each hydroxyl group in D-galactose. Your Turn! 13

  14. Each hydroxyl group in a polyhydroxyl alcohol can be classified as 1o, 2o or 3o. Classify each hydroxyl group in D-galactose. Your Turn! 14

  15. Naming Alcohols IUPAC Rules for Naming Alcohols • Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms containing the hydroxyl group. • 2. Number the carbon atoms in this chain so that the carbon atom bearing the –OH group has the lowest possible number. 15

  16. Naming Alcohols IUPAC Rules for Naming Alcohols 3. Form the parent alcohol name by replacing the final -eof the corresponding alkane name by -ol. When isomers are possible (alcohols with three or more carbon atoms) indicate the position of the hydroxyl in the name by placing the number of the carbon atom to which the –OH is bonded immediately before the parent alcohol name. 16

  17. Naming Alcohols IUPAC Rules for Naming Alcohols 4. Name each alkyl side chain (or other group), and designate its position by number. 17

  18. Naming Alcohols See how the following examples are named with the use of the IUPAC System. 18

  19. Your Turn! Name the following alcohol using the IUPAC method. 19

  20. Your Turn! Name the following alcohol using the IUPAC method. 5,5-dimethyl-3-heptanol 20

  21. Your Turn! Write the structural formula of 2,4-dimethyl-2-hexanol. 21

  22. Your Turn! Write the structural formula of 2,4-dimethyl-2-hexanol. 22

  23. Alcohols contain the polar hydroxyl group (–OH). The –OH group can undergo hydrogen bonding which affects the solubility and boiling point of alcohols. Physical Properties of Alcohols 23

  24. Physical Properties of Alcohols Hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules explains the increase in boiling points of alcohols compared to alkanes. 24

  25. Physical Properties of Alcohols Hydrogen bonding between alcohol and water moleculesexplains the increased solubility of alcohols in water as compared to alkanes. 25

  26. Physical Properties of Alcohols Table 22.2 shows that the boiling point of an alcohol is much higher than the parent alkane. This difference is because of hydrogen bonding. 26

  27. Physical Properties of Alcohols Increasing the number of –OH groups in a molecule increases the boiling point and water solubility of the molecule. 27

  28. Physical Properties of Alcohols Notice in Table 22.3 that the boiling point of 1,2-ethanediol is 100oC higher than the boiling point of 1-propanol because of an additional –OH group. 28

  29. Physical Properties of Alcohols The effect of added –OH groups on solubility is most noticeable when you consider a carbohydrate like glucose . . . 29

  30. Physical Properties of Alcohols Notice the difference in solubility of hexanol (only one –OH group) and glucose ( five –OH groups). CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2OH 1-hexanol (solubility = 0.6g/100g H2O) D-glucose (solubility = 95g/10g H2O) 30

  31. Branching also affects boiling points. A branched-chain alcohol will have a lower boiling point than the corresponding straight-chain alcohol. For example 2-butanol is branched and has a boiling point of 91.5C versus 118 C for 1-butanol which is a straight-chain molecule. Physical Properties of Alcohols CH3CH2CH2CH2OH 1-butanol 31

  32. Physical Properties of Alcohols Alcohols with three carbon atoms or fewer are infinitely soluble in water while those with four or more carbon atoms have limited solubility in water. Recall that all hydrocarbons are insoluble in water. 32

  33. Your Turn! List the alcohols below in order of increasing boiling point. a) 1-butanol b) 1-propanol c) methanol d) 1-pentanol 33

  34. Your Turn! List the alcohols below in order of increasing boiling point. a) 1-butanol b) 1-propanol c) methanol d) 1-pentanol 34

  35. Protonation to form an oxonium ion Deprotonation to form an alkoxide ion Oxidation to form aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids Dehydration to form alkenes and ethers Esterification to form carboxylic esters Chemical Properties of Alcohols Alcohols undergo many reactions including these five. 35

  36. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Acid-base properties of alcohols Alcohols can act as weak acids or weak bases (undergo protonation and deprotonation) due to the nature of the –OH group as shown here. 36

  37. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Alcohols form oxonium ions in the presence of a strong acid. Here methanol reacts with sulfuric acid and behaves like a base. 37

  38. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Alcohols form alkoxide ions (RO-) in the presence of strong bases or an alkali metal. Here ethanol reacts with sodium and behaves like an acid. The order of reactivity of alcohols with alkali metals is 1 > 2 > 3. 38

  39. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Oxidation The oxidation state of carbon is determined by the functional group. Notice that aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are more oxidized than alcohols. 39

  40. Chemical Properties of Alcohols The oxidation states of several compounds with different functional groups are shown in Table 22.4. 40

  41. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Alcohols are oxidized to form aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids. [O] is the general symbol for oxidizing agents in reactions. Some common oxidizing agents are KMnO4, K2Cr2O7/H2SO4, and O2. 41

  42. Chemical Properties of Alcohols • Primary alcohols oxidize to form aldehydes which then oxidize to form carboxylic acids. • Secondary alcohols oxidize to form ketones. • Tertiary alcohols do not oxidize under these conditions. 42

  43. Chemical Properties of Alcohols 43

  44. Chemical Properties of Alcohols An application of the oxidation of alcohols is the oxidation of ethanol used in the alcohol breath analyzer test. The orange color of K2Cr2O7 in the picture on the left partially changes to green in the picture on the right when it reacts with ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the balloon indicating the presence of alcohol. 44

  45. Chemical Properties of Alcohols The human body metabolizes ethanol by oxidizing it. Ethanol is oxidized in the liver producing ethanal. Ethanal is toxic and can damage the liver. Excess alcohol consumption can cause cirrhosis of the liver. 45

  46. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Ethanal is then oxidized to acetic acid during the metabolism of ethanol which can be used as a source of biochemical energy and thus contributes to overall caloric intake and can contribute to obesity. 46

  47. Your Turn! What are the products when 2-butanol is oxidized with K2Cr2O7/H2SO4? 47

  48. Your Turn! What are the products when 2-butanol is oxidized with K2Cr2O7/H2SO4? 2-Butanol is a 2o alcohol so the oxidation produces a ketone. 48

  49. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Dehydration Alcohols are dehydrated to form alkenes when heated with sulfuric acid. 49

  50. Chemical Properties of Alcohols Some alcohols can form two alkenes when dehydrated as shown here. 50
