17
Q

which type of alcohols are yielded on reduction of aldehydes and ketones

A

aldehydes-primary
ketones-secondary

18
Q

rxn of alcohols with grignard reagent

A

methanal-1°
aldehydes-2°
ketones-3°

19
Q

alcohols and protons are?

A

bronsted acids

20
Q

alcohols act as bronsted bases as well
why

A

presence of unshared electrons on oxygen

21
Q

in the rxn of alcohols and phenols with carboxylic acids and acid anhydride, water is removed as soon as its formed. why

A

because the rxn is reversible

22
Q

phenols show c-o cleavage only on rxn with

23
Q

order of ease of dehydration of alcohols

24
Q

o and p isomers of nitrophenol can be isolated. how?

A

o isomer is steam volatile due to intramolecular h bonding while p is not due to intermolecular bonding
