13.1 Alcohols and Phenols Phenols possess a hydroxyl group directly attached to an aromatic ring Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
5
13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols
A strong base is usually necessary to deprotonate an alcohol A preferred choice to create an alkoxide is to treat the alcohol with Na, K, or Li metal. Show the mechanism for such a reaction Practice with conceptual checkpoint 13.4 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols
Recall from chapter 3 how ARIO is used to qualitatively assess the strength of an acid Lets apply these factors to alcohols and phenols Atom Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols
Lets apply these factors to alcohols and phenols Resonance Explain why phenol is 100 million times more acidic than cyclohexanol Show all relevant resonance contributors Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
8
13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols
Lets apply these factors to alcohols and phenols Induction: unless there is an electronegative group nearby, induction won’t be very significant Orbital: in what type of orbital do the alkoxide electrons reside? How does that effect acidity? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
9
13.2 Acidity of Alcohols and Phenols
Solvation is also an important factor that affects acidity Water is generally used as the solvent when measuring pKa values Which of the alcohols below is stronger? ARIO cannot be used to explain the difference Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.3 Preparation of Alcohols
We saw in chapter 7 that substitution reactions can yield an alcohol What reagents did we use to accomplish this transformation? We saw that the substitution can occur by SN1 or SN2 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
13
13.3 Preparation of Alcohols
The SN1 process generally uses a weak nucleophile (H2O), which makes the process relatively slow Why isn’t a stronger nucleophile (-OH) used under SN1 conditions? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
14
13.3 Preparation of Alcohols
In chapter 9, we learned how to make alcohols from alkenes Recall that acid-catalyzed hydration proceeds through a carbocation intermediate that can possibly rearrange How do you avoid rearrangements? Practice with checkpoints 13.7 and 13.8 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.4 Alcohol Prep via Reduction
A third method to prepare alcohols is by the reduction of a carbonyl. What is a carbonyl? Reductions involve a change in oxidation state Oxidation state are a method of electron bookkeeping Recall how we used formal charge as a method of electron bookkeeping Each atom is assigned half of the electrons it is sharing with another atom What is the formal charge on carbon in methanol? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
17
13.4 Alcohol Prep via Reduction
For oxidation states, we imagine the bonds breaking heterolytically, and the electrons go to the more electronegative atom Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
18
13.4 Alcohol Prep via Reduction
Each of the carbons below have zero formal charge, but they have different oxidation states Calculate the oxidation number for each Is the conversion from formic acid carbon dioxide an oxidation or a reduction? What about formaldehyde methanol? Practice with SkillBuilder 13.3 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.4 Alcohol Prep via Reduction
The reduction of a carbonyl requires a reducing agent Is the reducing agent oxidized or reduced? If you were to design a reducing agent, what element(s) would be necessary? Would an acid such as HCl be an appropriate reducing agent? WHY or WHY NOT? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
21
13.4 Alcohol Prep via Reduction
There are three reducing agents you should know We have already seen how catalyzed hydrogenation can reduce alkenes. It can also work for carbonyls Forceful conditions (high temperature and/or high pressure) Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

35
13.6 Grignard Reactions Grignard reagents are often used in the synthesis of alcohols To form a Grignard, an alkyl halide is treated with Mg metal How does the oxidation state of the carbon change upon forming the Grignard? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
36
13.6 Grignard Reactions The electronegativity difference between C (2.5) and Mg (1.3) is great enough that the bond has significant ionic character The carbon atom is not able to effectively stabilize the negative charge it carries Will it act as an acid, base, electrophile, nucleophile, etc.? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
37
13.6 Grignard Reactions If the Grignard reagent reacts with a carbonyl compound, an alcohol can result Note the similarities between the Grignard and LAH mechanisms Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
38
13.6 Grignard Reactions Because the Grignard is both a strong base and a strong nucleophile, care must be taken to protect it from exposure to water If water can’t be used as the solvent, what solvent is appropriate? What techniques are used to keep atmospheric moisture out of the reaction? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

Consider the reaction below. WHY won’t it work? The alcohol can act as an acid, especially in the presence of reactive reagents like the Grignard reagent The alcohol can be protected to prevent it from reacting Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
43
13.7 Protection of Alcohols

45
13.7 Protection of Alcohols
Evidence suggests that substitution at the Si atom occurs by an SN2 mechanism Because Si is much larger than C, it is more open to backside attack Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

13.9 E1 and E2 Reactions of Alcohols
In section 8.9, we saw that an acid (with a non-nucleophilic conjugate base) can promote E1 Why is E2 unlikely? Recall that the reaction generally produces the more substituted alkene product Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
57
13.9 E1 and E2 Reactions of Alcohols
If the alcohol is converted into a better leaving group, then a strong base can be used to promote E2 E2 reactions do not involve rearrangements. WHY? When applicable, E2 reactions also produce the more substituted product Practice with conceptual checkpoint 13.21 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
