Alcohols Flashcards
Name a primary alcohol
Ethanol
Name a secondary alcohol
Propan-2-ol
Name a tertiary alcohol
2 methyl, propan-2-ol
How to make ethanol
Ethene + Stem
Oxidisation of Primary alcohol
Primary + [O] –> Aldehyde + Water
Heat aldehyde under reflux to get:
Aldehyde + [O] –> Carboxylic Acid
Catlayst for oxidisation of alcohols
Chrmoium ions (oxidising agent)
Oxidsation of secondary alcohol
Secondary + [O] –> Ketone + water
under reflux –> no further oxidsation
Oxidisation of Tertiary Alcohol
Cant
How to and what it makes if you dehydrate a alcohol
Conc acid (e.g sulphuric)
makes and alkene + water
Conditions for full oxidisation of a primary alcohol
reflux and K2Cr2O7 catalyst
Conbditons to dehydrate alcohol
conc H2SO4
forms alkene btw.
what intermolecualr forces do alcohols have
Hydrogen bonds
London
permanant dipole dipole
