    1. Alcohols are formed by the addition of hydrogen and hydroxyl groups to alkenes or alkynes. Common alcohols include methanol, ethanol, and glycerol. 2. Alcohols are named based on the parent alkane chain and location of the hydroxyl group. They can be primary, secondary, or tertiary depending on how many carbons the hydroxyl group is bonded to. 3. Ethers are named similarly to alcohols but have two alkyl groups bonded to an oxygen atom instead of a hydroxyl group. They are less polar than alcohols.

    wood in the absence of air
    ____________ - alcoholic beverages; fermentation of sugars and plants
    ____________ – found in vitamin A

     Alcohol functional group is named _____
     added to the prefix of the parent alkane
     parent chain is numbered so the ____________ (not the side chains) has the
    ____________ ____________
     If alcohol has ____________ than 2 C atoms, or more than 2 –OH groups, need
    ____________ to identify ____________
     Location of –OH group indicated by number of C atom that ____________ _____

    SCH4U- UNIT 2

    Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Alcohols


     Alcohols classified differently based on the carbon that is bearing the –OH group
     ____________ means that the carbon the functional group is bonded to is joined
    to only one other carbon (R)
     ____________ means that the carbon the functional group is bonded to is joined
    to two other carbon (R and R’)
     ____________ means that the carbon the functional group is bonded to is joined
