Nomenclature of Alcohols
In the IUPAC naming system, there may be asmany as four components to the name:
Locant indicates the position of a substituent.Prefix names the substituent group.
Parent is the parent alkane.
Suffix names a key function.

IUPAC Rules for Naming Alcohols
(1) Select the longest continuous chain containing the hydroxyl group as the parent. Drop the "e" in the alkane name and add the suffix "ol."
.(2) Number the chain from the end that gives a lower number to the position of the hydroxyl group

Solubility decreases as the size of the alkyl group increases.
Physical Properties of Alcohols: 1. SolubilityPhysical Properties of Alcohols: 1. SolubilityPhysical Properties of Alcohols: 1. SolubilityPhysical Properties of Alcohols: 1. Solubility
OH group is the hydrophilic part of alcohol (ROH) which form H bond with water molecules.
Therefore, ROH is soluble in water. BUT when C chain increased, the solubility in water decreased. (increase the hydrophobicity)
Increase branching increased the ROH solubility.
WHY??? Because the C atom (hydrophobic part) become more compact and smaller.
• ROH has bp higher than any HC of similar molecular mass.
•The large difference in bp is due to the intermolecular hydrogen bond in alcohol and phenol.
• Presence of –OH group causes polarization in the molecule to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
• van der waals < hydrogen bonds ; the energy/strength increase for H bonds. So more energy needed to break bonds.
• bp reduces by increased the branching of molecule due to smaller surface area and its reduce the dipole inter-reaction between molecules and less energy needed to break bonds.

D. Electron-withdrawing inductive effect� the polarization of electron density of a covalent bond due to the
electronegativity of an adjacent covalent bond
� stabilization by the inductive effect falls off rapidly with increasing distance of the electronegative atom from the site of negative charge
� Simple alcohols are about as acidic as water.� Alkyl groups make an alcohol a weaker acid.� The more easily the alkoxide ion is solvated by water the more its formation is energetically
favored.� Steric effects are important.
EP101 / EG101 ��
The presence of halogens in the alcohol increases the acidity of the alcohol due to an inductive effect.The electronegative halogen atom polarizes the X-C bond producing a partial positive charge on the carbon atom. This charge is further transmitted through the C-O σ bond to the oxygen atom which is then better able to stabilize the negative charge on the alkoxide oxygen.Inductive effects increase with the number of electronegative groups and decreases with the distance from the oygen.

• Phenols and alcohols both contain hydroxyl groups however they are classified as separate functional groups. Why?
Answer: Phenols have different properties than alcohols, most noteworthy is their acidity (pKadifference of 106)

Solutions of alcohols in water are neutral, whereas a solution of 0.1 M phenol is slightly acidic (pH 5.4).
EP101 / EG101 ��
• Why are phenols more acidic?
Resonance. The charge is delocalized around the ring.
O O O O
This gives a qualitative explanation as to why phenols are more acidic than alcohols but for quantitative comparison, pKa’s must be determined experimentally.
• Ring substituents, especially halogens and nitro groups have marked effects on the acidity of phenol by a combination or resonance and inductive effects. Both m-cresol and p-cresol are weaker acids than phenol with pKa’s of 10.01 and 10.17 respectively.

Fluorine is most electronegative of the halogens, and therefore has the greatest influence on the acidity of halophenols. This trend follows electronegativity: Chlorine has less of an effect than fluorine and bromine an even smaller effect than chlorine.

Alcohols through Oxidation of Alkylboranes
Reaction of an alkylborane with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and base (NaOH) leads to replacement of the borane group with a hydroxyl group.
