12.1 Alcohols, Thiols, and Ethers

Alcohols

An alcohol contains a hydroxyl group (—OH) attached to a carbon chain.

A phenol contains a hydroxyl group (—OH) attached to a benzene ring.

3

Naming Alcohols

The names of alcohols• in the IUPAC system replace the -e with -ol.• with common names use the name of the alkyl group

followed by alcohol.

IUPAC names for longer chains number the chain from the end nearest the -OH group.

For pets that have been sprayed, bathe the animal in a mixture of 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide (from drug store), 1/4 cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and a teaspoon of liquid detergent. After 5 minutes rinse the animal with water. Repeat if necessary. The mixture must be used after mixing and will not work if it is stored for any length of time. DO NOT STORE IN A CLOSED CONTAINER - it releases oxygen gas so it could break the container. This mixture may bleach the pet's hair.

22

Why tomato juice is believed to eliminate skunk odor. Bathing an animal in tomato juice seems to work because at high doses of skunk spray the human nose quits smelling the odor (olfactory fatigue). When this happens, the odor of tomato juice can easily be detected. A person suffering olfactory fatigue to skunk spray will swear that the skunk odor is gone and was neutralized by the tomato juice. Another person coming on the scene at this point will readily confirm that the skunk spray has not been neutralized by the tomato juice.

Quickly And Safely Eliminates Odors On PetsThiotrol Spray is specially formulated to neutralize, not mask, offensive skunk odor on pets, people, clothing, carpets, and other contaminated surfaces.DirectionsCompletely saturate affected areas with the high output pump sprayer. Work into fur, clothing, or carpet and allow to dry. Resaturate affected area and let dry. To avoid eyes, apply to face using a saturated cloth. Should any odors remain, locate odor source and reapply. Thiotrol Spray CautionFor topical use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Sold Exclusively Through Veterinarians

Ethers

An ether• contains an ─O─ between two carbon groups.• has a common name that gives the alkyl names of the attached

groups, followed by ether.

Ethers as Anesthetics

Anesthetics • inhibit pain signals to the brain.• like diethyl ether, CH3─CH2─O─CH2─CH3, were used

for over a century, but caused nausea and were flammable.

• developed by the 1960s were nonflammable.

12.2 Properties of Alcohols and Ethers

Chapter 12 Organic Compounds with Oxygen and Sulfur

27

Boiling Points of Alcohols

Alcohols• contain polar OH

groups. • form hydrogen bonds

with other alcohol molecules.

• have higher boiling points than alkanes and ethers of similar mass.

28

Boiling Points of Ethers

Ethers• do not have a polar

group.• have an O atom, but

there is no H attached.

• cannot form hydrogen bonds between ether molecules.

29

Solubility of Alcohols and Ethers in Water

Alcohols and ethers • are more soluble in water than alkanes because the

oxygen atom can hydrogen bond with water. • with 1-4 C atoms are soluble, but not with 5 or more

C atoms.

Combustion of Alcohols

Alcohols undergo combustion with O2 to produce CO2 and H2O.

CH3—CH2—OH + 3O2 2CO2 + 3H2O + Energy

33

Alcohols undergo• dehydration when heated with an acid catalyst.• the loss of —H and —OH from adjacent carbon

36

Oxidation and Reduction

In an oxidation, • there is an increase in the number of C-O bonds.• there is a loss of H.

In a reduction,• there is a decrease in the number of C-O bonds.• there is a gain of H.

Oxidation of Ethanol in the Body

44

Carbonyl Group in Aldehydes and Ketones

A carbonyl group• in an aldehyde is

attached to at least one H atom.

• in a ketone is attached to two carbon groups.

45

Naming Aldehydes

An aldehyde• has an IUPAC name in which the -e in the alkane name is changed

to –al.• has a common name for the first four aldehydes that use the

prefixes: form (1C), acet (2C), propion (3C), and butyr (4C), followed by aldehyde.
