Alcohols

Question 1

hydroxyl

Answer 1

functional group -OH

Question 2

phenols

Answer 2

hydroxyl groups attached to aromatic rings

Question 3

ortho

Answer 3

two -OH groups on adjacent carbons

Question 4

meta

Answer 4

two -OH groups separated by a carbon

Question 5

para

Answer 5

two -OH groups on opposite sides of the ring

Question 6

alcohol boiling point

Answer 6

increases significantly with additional hydroxyl group

Question 7

pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)

Answer 7

oxidizes primary alcohol to aldehydes

Question 8

Jones oxidation

Answer 8

primary alcohol oxidized to a carboxylic acid by CrO3

Question 9

mesylate

Answer 9

compound containing the functional group -SO3CHO3, derived from methanesulfonic acid

Question 10

tosylate

Answer 10

contain functional group -SO3C6H4CH3;

Question 11

mesyl and tosyl groups

Answer 11

serve as protecting groups; turn alcohols into better leaving groups

Question 12

acetals and ketals

Answer 12

do not react with certain reducing agents so they serve as protecting groups

Question 13

quinone

Answer 13

result of treatment of phenols with oxidizing agents; turns alcohol group into double bonded oxygen

Question 14

hydroxyquinones

Answer 14

share the same ring and carbonyl backbone as quinones, but differ by the addition of one or more hydroxyl groups

Question 15

ubiquinone

Answer 15

coenzyme Q; vital electron carrier associated with complexes I, II, and III of the ETC
