Naming Phenols
• -OH group is assumed to be on carbon 1.• For common names of disubstituted phenols,
use ortho- for 1,2; meta- for 1,3; and para- for 1,4.

Physical Properties
• Unusually high boiling points due to hydrogen bonding between molecules.
• Small alcohols are miscible in water, but solubility decreases as the size of the alkyl group increases.

Solubility in Water
Solubility decreases as the size of the alkyl group increases.

Chapter 10 11
Acidity of Alcohols
• pKa range: 15.5-18.0 (water: 15.7)• Acidity decreases as alkyl group
increases.• Halogens increase the acidity.• Phenol is 100 million times more acidic
than cyclohexanol!

Synthesis (Review)

Organometallic Reagents
• Carbon is bonded to a metal (Mg or Li).
• Carbon is nucleophilic (partially negative).
• It will attack a partially positive carbon.C - XC = O
• A new carbon-carbon bond forms. =>

Grignard Reagents
• Formula R-Mg-X (reacts like R:- +MgX)• Stabilized by anhydrous ether• Iodides most reactive• May be formed from any halide

Organolithium Reagents
• Formula R-Li (reacts like R:- +Li)• Can be produced from alkyl, vinyl, or aryl
halides, just like Grignard reagents.• Ether not necessary, wide variety of
solvents can be used.
=>
Chapter 10 21
Reaction with Carbonyl
• R:- attacks the partially positive carbon in the carbonyl.
• The intermediate is an alkoxide ion.• Addition of water or dilute acid protonates the
alkoxide to produce an alcohol.

Grignard Reactions with Acid Chlorides
and Esters• Use two moles of Grignard reagent.
• The product is a tertiary alcohol with two identical alkyl groups.
• Reaction with one mole of Grignard reagent produces a ketone intermediate, which reacts with the second mole of Grignard reagent. =>

Limitations of Grignard
• No water or other acidic protons like O-H, N-H, S-H, or -C—C-H. Grignard reagent is destroyed, becomes an alkane.
• No other electrophilic multiple bonds, like C=N, C—N, S=O, or N=O.

Reduction of Carbonyl
• Reduction of aldehyde yields 1º alcohol.• Reduction of ketone yields 2º alcohol.• Reagents:
Sodium borohydride, NaBH4
Lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH4
Raney nickel

Chapter 10 34
Sodium Borohydride
• Hydride ion, H-, attacks the carbonyl carbon, forming an alkoxide ion.
• Then the alkoxide ion is protonated by dilute acid.
• Only reacts with carbonyl of aldehyde or ketone, not with carbonyls of esters or carboxylic acids.
