Organic Derivatives of Water Flashcards
can be classified based on
the number of alkyl groups attached
to the carbon that contains the
hydroxyl group
alcohol
react with various oxidizing agents
primary and secondary alcohol
alcohols that are
unreactive, but most reactive to
nucleophilic substitution in Lucas
reagent
tertiary alcohol
quite reactive
to nucleophilic substitution
secondary alcohol
unreactive to
nucleophilic substitution
primary alcohol
only oxidized only by the
strongest oxidative agents
phenol
useful chemical
test for determining phenols from
alcohols
ferric chloride test
generally unreactive as it
has a very stable bond
ethers
organic derivatives of water include
hydroxyl
carbonyl
carboxyl
amine
ester
ether
thiol

what to do
with corrosive substances
avoid skin contact
its vapor is toxic, so
avoid inhalation
diethyl ether
how many drops of the following are placed on separate dry test tube:
➢ 1-butanol
➢ 2-butanol
➢ 2-methyl-2-propanol
➢ Cyclohexanol
➢ Ethylene glycol
➢ Phenol
➢ 2-napthtol
procedures of solubility in water
2 mL of distilled water
shake and observe
procedures of acidic properties of alcohols (using sodium metal)
add a small piece of dry sodium metal
add 2 mL of each sample,
observe the rate of evolution of
hydrogen gas
test for solubility in NaOh
5 drops of NaOH
shake and observe solubility
Bayer’s oxidation
5 drops of Bayer’s reagent,
shake and observe
chromic acid oxidation
add 5 mL of Na2Cr2O7
2 drops of conc. H2SO4,
and add 2 drops of sample, observe.
lucas test
add 2mL of Lucas reagent,
add sample,
seal the test tube
shake and observe reaction
ferric chloride test
add small amount of sample
add 1 mL of deionized water
and add several drops of 2.5 M aqueous ferric chloride solution
shake and observe reaction.
compounds tested that are soluble in water
1-butanol
2-methyl-2propanol
ethylene glycol
what bonds do 1- butanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol and
ethylene glycol have with water
molecules
hydrogen bonds
where the water has a
slightly positive charge on this
hydrogen
where the water has a
slightly negative charge on these
oxygen
contains hydroxyl (-OH)
group, which is the functional group
responsible for its solubility in water,
the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl
group can form hydrogen bonds with
water molecules, allowing 1-butanol
to dissolve in water
1-butanol
contains a
hydroxyl group, enabling it to form
hydrogen bonds with water
molecules. The presence of a
branched alkyl group does not
significantly affect its solubility since
the hydroxyl group is the main
determining factor
2-methyl-2-propanol
- is a diol, meaning it
contains two hydroxyl groups. These
hydroxyl groups can also form
hydrogen bonds with water
molecules, facilitating its solubility.
Additionally, ethylene glycol has a
small molecular size, further
enhancing its solubility in water
ethylene glycol
not soluble in water
compared to other alcohols due to it
having a bulky cyclohexyl group attached to the hydroxyl (-OH)
functional group.
cyclohexanol
introduces a
significant nonpolar component to
the molecule, making it less
compatible with the polar nature of
water
cyclohexyl group
