  1. Alcohols, enols and phenols

  2. Classification • Alcohols and alkyl halides are classified asprimary secondary tertiaryaccording to their "degree of substitution." • Degree of substitution is determined by countingthe number of carbon atoms directly attached tothe carbon that bears the halogen or hydroxyl group.

  3. CH3 CH3CHCH2CH2CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 Br OH Classification H CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2F OH primary alkyl halide secondary alcohol secondary alkyl halide tertiary alcohol

  4. IUPAC Nomenclatureof Alcohols

  5. CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 OH CH3CHCH2CH2CH2CH3 OH Functional Class Nomenclature of Alcohols • Name the alkyl group and add "alcohol" as aseparate word. CH3CH2OH

  6. CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 OH CH3CHCH2CH2CH2CH3 OH Functional Class Nomenclature of Alcohols • Name the alkyl group and add "alcohol" as aseparate word. CH3CH2OH Ethyl alcohol 1,1-Dimethylbutylalcohol 1-Methylpentyl alcohol

  7. CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 OH CH3CHCH2CH2CH2CH3 OH Substitutive Nomenclature of Alcohols • Name as "alkanols." Replace -e ending of alkanename by -ol. • Number chain in direction that gives lowest numberto the carbon that bears the —OH group. CH3CH2OH

  8. CH3 CH3CCH2CH2CH3 OH CH3CHCH2CH2CH2CH3 OH Substitutive Nomenclature of Alcohols • Name as "alkanols." Replace -e ending of alkanename by -ol. • Number chain in direction that gives lowest numberto the carbon that bears the —OH group. CH3CH2OH Ethanol 2-Methyl-2-pentanol 2-Hexanol

  9. OH CH3 CH3 OH Substitutive Nomenclature of Alcohols • Hydroxyl groups outrank alkyl groups when it comes to numberingthe chain. • Number the chain in thedirection that gives the lowest number to thecarbon that bears theOH group

  10. OH CH3 CH3 OH Substitutive Nomenclature of Alcohols 6-Methyl-3-heptanol 5-Methyl-2-heptanol

  11. Dipole Moments • alcohols and alkyl halides are polar  = 1.9 D  = 1.7 D

  12. Effect of Structure on Boiling Point • 46 • +78 • 1.7 CH3CH2OH Highest boiling point;strongest intermolecularattractive forces. Hydrogen bonding isstronger than other dipole-dipole attractions. Molecularweight Boilingpoint, °C Dipolemoment, D

  13. Hydrogen bonding in ethanol

  14. O O R'CCl R'COR Reaction of Alcohols with Acyl Chlorides • high yields • not reversible when carried outin presence of pyridine + + ROH HCl

  15. O O R'COH R'COR Esterification • a condensation reaction • called Fischer esterification • acid catalyzed • reversible H+ + + ROH H2O

  24. OH O R2CHCR' R2C CR' Enol Content • percent enol is usually very small • keto form usually 45-60 kJ/mol more stablethan enol keto enol

  25. Phenols

  26. OH CH3 Cl Nomenclature • named on basis of phenol as parent • substituents listed in alphabetical order • lowest numerical sequence: first point ofdifference rule 5-Chloro-2-methylphenol

  27. OH OH OH OH OH OH Nomenclature 1,2-Benzenediol 1,3-Benzenediol 1,4-Benzenediol (common name:pyrocatechol) (common name:resorcinol) (common name:hydroquinone)

  28. OH CO2H Nomenclature • name on basis of benzoic acid as parent • higher oxidation states of carbon outrankhydroxyl group p-Hydroxybenzoic acid

  29. Structure of Phenol • phenol is planar • C—O bond distance is 136 pm, which isslightly shorter than that of CH3OH (142 pm)

  30. Physical Properties The OH group of phenols allows hydrogen bondingto other phenol molecules and to water.

  31. O O H Hydrogen Bonding in Phenols

  32. Acidity of Phenols • most characteristic property of phenols is their acidity

  33. •• •• O O H •• •• •• Ka = 10-10 + H Ka = 10-16 – •• •• + CH3CH2O CH3CH2O H H •• •• •• Compare + +

  35. Example: Thymol OH CH3 CH(CH3)2 Thymol(major constituent of oil of thyme)

  36. Example: 2,5-Dichlorophenol OH Cl Cl 2,5-Dichlorophenol(from defensive secretion ofa species of grasshopper)

  37. O OH OC(CH2)6CH3 O + CH3(CH2)6CCl O-Acylation • in the absence of AlCl3, acylation of the hydroxyl group occurs (O-acylation) (95%)
