2.9 Amines Flashcards
3 types of alcohols
Aliphatic
Enol = after a c=c
Phenol = benzene with OH side
How to name a diol
Alkane - 1,2 diol
Alcohol infrared spectrum range
OH stretch ~ 3400 cm-¹
Broad and obvious
Nmr ranges
¹³C = 50-80 ppm
¹H = ~3-4ppm
OH proton is often broad and invisible
Alcohol synthesis from alkenes
Hydration of alkene
Reagent: strong acid + catalyst
Biological examples of alkene —> alcohol
Citric acid cycle
Beta-oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria/peroxisome
H20 + enoyl CoA hydratase
Alcohol synthesis from alkyl Halides
Substitution reaction
Reagent: heat + h20
Halide is replaced with OH
Alcohol synthesis from aldehyde/ketones
Reaction of carbonyls
Aldehyde/ketone + organometallic (eg R-+Li) organolithium + grignard reagent
