Alcohols Alcohol: A compound that contains an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon. Methanol, CH3OH, is the simplest alcohol. Nomenclature 1. Select the longest carbon chain that contains the -OH group as the parent alkane and number it from the end that gives the -OH the lower number. 2. Change the ending of the parent alkane from -e to -ol and use a number to show the location of the -OH group; for cyclic alcohols, the carbon bearing the -OH group is carbon-1. 3. Name and number substituents and list them in alphabetical order.
6
Nomenclature In the IUPAC system, a compound containing two hydroxyl groups is named as a diol, one containing three hydroxyl groups as a triol, and so forth. IUPAC names for diols, triols, and so on retain the final "-e" in the name of the parent alkane. We commonly refer to compounds containing two hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbons as glycols.
7
Physical Properties Alcohols are polar molecules.
The C-O and O-H bonds are both polar covalent.
8
Physical Properties In the liquid state, alcohols associate by hydrogen bonding.

Acidity of Alcohols Alcohols have about the same pKa values as water.
Aqueous solutions of alcohols have the same pH as that of pure water. Alcohols and phenols both contain an OH group. Phenols are weak acids and react with NaOH and other strong bases to form water-soluble salts. Alcohols are weaker acids than phenols and do not react in this manner. n

Ethers
24
Common Nomenclature IUPAC Nomenclature • dialkyl "ether" • dialkyl "ether" • "alkoxy"
25
Physical Properties Ethers are polar molecules in which oxygen bears a partial negative charge and each carbon bonded to it bears a partial positive charge.
26
Physical Properties However, only weak forces of attraction exist between ether molecules in the pure liquid. Consequently, boiling points of ethers are close to those of hydrocarbons of similar molecular weight. Ethers have lower boiling points than alcohols of the same molecular formula.
27
Reactions of Ethers Ethers resemble hydrocarbons in their resistance to chemical reaction. They do not react with oxidizing agents such as potassium dichromate. They do not react with reducing agents such as H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst or with hydride reducing agents such as NaBH4. They are not affected by most acids or bases at moderate temperatures. Because of their general inertness and good solvent properties, ethers, such as diethyl ether and THF, are excellent solvents in which to carry out organic reactions.

Thiols
32
Thiols Thiol: A compound containing an -SH (sulfhydryl group).
The most outstanding property of low-molecular-weight thiols is their stench. They are responsible for smells such as those from rotten eggs and sewage. The scent of skunks is due primarily to these two thiols.
33
Naming thiols Alkane + thiol 1-propanethiol 2-propene-1-thiol
34
Physical Properties Because of the small difference in electronegativity between sulfur and hydrogen ( = 0.4), an S-H bond is nonpolar covalent. Thiols show little association by hydrogen bonding. Thiols have lower boiling points and are less soluble in water and other polar solvents than alcohols of similar molecular weight.
