Butance –> Butyl Methyl Ether, Butanol, Hexanol
Name the following ethers: CH3CH2CH2OCH2CH3 Benzene ring-OCH3 Benzene ring-OCH2CH2CH2Ch3 CH3CHOCH2CH3 CH3
- Butyl Methyl Ether
- Methyl Phenyl Ether
- Butyl Phenyl Ether

The oxidation of a primary alcohol depending on experimental conditions give off what type of product?
Aldehyde (two hydrogen lost) Carboxylic Acid (added oxygen)
What will be the resulting products of 1-Octanol with an oxidizing reagent?
Octanal
Octanoic Acid
How is it possible to stop oxidation at the aldehyde stage and how will this affect the product?
Distilling the mixture
The aldehyde will have lower boiling point than the primary alcohol and the carboxylic acid
What does the oxidation of a secondary alcohol give off?
Ketone
What does the oxidation to tertiary alcohols give off?
No oxidation
1-Methyl-cyclopentanol with an oxidizing reagent gives off
No oxidation
What is the common name for methanal?
Formaldehyde (formic acid)
What is the common name for ethanal?
Acetaldehyde (acetic acid)
What is the common name for propanal?
Propionaldehde (propionic acid)
What is the common name for butanal?
Butyraldehyde (butyric acid)
What is the simplest aromatic aldehyde?
Benzaldehyde (benzoic acid)
What is the IUPAC name for vanillin?
4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde
What is the letters used in the common naming system of aldehydes?
Alpha (1), Beta (2), Gamma (3), Delta (4) …
