Chapter 7 - Alcohols, Phenols, and Thiols Flashcards
It contain an OH (hydroxyl) group.
Alcohols
alcohol that has an OH group on a C bonded only to 1 C atom.
Primary (1o)
alcohol that has an OH group on a C bonded only to 2 C atoms.
Secondary (2o)
alcohol that has an OH group on a C bonded only to 3 C atoms.
Tertiary (3o)
True or False:
alcohols have higher boiling and melting points than hydrocarbons of comparable size and shape.
True
True or False:
Hydrogen bonds are stronger than ordinary covalent bonds.
False
(Weaker)
Proton donor
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
Proton Acceptor

True or False:
Strong acid has strong conjugate base (vice versa)
False
( Strong acid has weak conjugate base (vice versa))
Electron-pair acceptor
Lewis acid
Electron pair donor
Lewis base
Substance that can act as an acid or as a base
Amphoteric
What type of acids are alcohols and phenols?
Weak acids
Phenols are _______ acids than alcohols
Stronger
Polar bonds that place a partial positive charge near the negative charge on an alkoxide ion stabilize the ion by what effect?
Inductive effect
p-nitrophenol has lower pKa thus, _________ acid than phenol.
Stronger
Product or basicity of alcohols and phenols
Alkyloxonium ion
used to prepare alkenes and is the reverse of hydration
Dehydration
Rule that states that the major product has the most alkyl groups bonded to the C═C.
Zaitsev rule
