Unit 8 - Organic Molecules III
Alcohols, Thiols, Ethers, Aldehydes
and Ketones
In this unit we continue surveying some of the families of
organic molecules that play important roles in biochemistry;
looking both at their physical and chemical properties. The
Group VIA elements, oxygen and sulfur, typically form two
covalent bonds to attain a filled valence shell. The families that
include oxygen and sulfur with two single bonds include
alcohols C-O-H, ethers C-O-C, thiols C-S-H, sulfides C-S-C
and disulfides C-S-S-C. We will also look at two more
important carbonyl containing functional groups, aldehydes
and ketones.

Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols, Sulfides and
Disulfides
The IUPAC rules for naming alcohols
• Find the longest carbon chain containing the carbon to
which the hydroxyl group is attached.
• Remove the “-e” ending and replace with “-ol”
• Number the carbon chain from the end closest to the
hydroxyl group.
• Identify, name and locate any substituent groups
If the hydroxyl group is being treated as a substituent group,
refer to it as a “hydroxyl” group.

The IUPAC rules for naming thiols
• Find the longest carbon chain containing the carbon to
which the sulfhydryl group is attached.
• Add the ending “-thiol”, without removing the “-e”
• Number the carbon chain from the end closest to the
sulfhydryl group.
• Identify, name and locate any substituent groups

sulfides and disulfides.
• Instead of using an ending, the substituents attached to the
oxygen or sulfur will be listed in front fo the family name.

Alcohols are also labeled according to the number of carbons
that are attached to the carbon that the hydroxyl group is
attached to.

Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols, Sulfides and
Disulfides
The hydroxyl groups of alcohols are good hydrogen bonding
donors and acceptors
23
Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols, Sulfides and
Disulfides
The other functional groups are not as good at forming
hydrogen bonds.
• Ethers can only accept hydrogen bonds.
• Sulfur has about the same electronegativity as carbon, and
therefore, is non-polar.
This is reflected in the boiling points and solubilities of these
molecules.

•
In this unit we will be learn many new reactions.
•
Pages 346 and 347 in Raymond contains a nice summary
of all of the reactions that will will cover in this unit.
Preparations of Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols and
Sulfides
Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols and Sulfides can be prepared from
alkyl halides using nucleophilic substitution reactions.
27
•
A nucleophile is an electron rich atom or group or atoms.
•
The halogen atom make a good leaving group.
•
The nucleophile “attacks” that atom to which the halogen is
attached and the halogen leaves.
•
This results in the the nucleophile substituting for the
leaving group.

Sulfides

being used to split another molecule, it is added to another
molecule to produce a single product.

Another way to produce
alcohols is the
hydration of alkenes
• When we looked at
hydration reactions
back in Unit 2 we
conveniently picked
reactants that would
only produce one
product.
• It is possible to have
multiple products in
hydration reactions.
34
Preparations of Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols and
Sulfides
Multiple products occur whenever there are a different
number of hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbons
double-bonded carbons in the alkene.
• Markovnikov’s Rule can be used to predict which of the
two products is predicted to be the major product.
-The hydrogen from the water in a hydration reaction is added to the
double-bonded carbon atom that originally carried the most hydrogen
atoms.
•
If you consider hydrogens as a source of wealth, this can
be more simply stated as
-“The rich get richer!”

Back in Unit 4 we developed several definitions for OxidationReduction Reactions.
37
Oxidation and Reduction (Unit 4)
Ways of recognizing oxidation/reduction reactions:
• Oxidation and reductions always occur together
Oxidation

electrons
An atom gains
electrons
An atom gains a
bond to oxygen
An atom loses a

38
Reactions of Alcohols and Thiols
Back in Unit 7 we saw how the definition “loses hydrogens”
could be applied to the oxidation of hydroquinones to produce
quinones
39
Carboxylic Acids & Phenols, Other Reactions
(Unit 7)
The oxidation of
hydroquinones is also
an important biological
reaction.
• A chemical oxidation
of hydroquinones
can be carried out
the oxidizing agent
K2Cr2O7 (potassium
dichromate)
• The K2Cr2O7 is not
40
acting as a base to
remove 2 H+ ions,
instead it is removing
2 H• atoms.
Reactions of Alcohols and Thiols
This same definition can also be applied to the oxidation of
alcohols by potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7).
The oxidation
requires that
there are
hydrogens to be
removed on the
carbon to which
the hydroxyl is
bound

•
The oxidation of primary (1°) alcohols is a way for
preparing aldehydes and carboxylic acids.
•
The oxidation of secondary (2°) alcohols is a way for
preparing ketones.
•
The oxidation of tertiary (3°) alcohols does not occur
because there are not hydrogens attached to the carbon to
to which the hydroxyl is attached

44
Reactions of Alcohols and Thiols
In biological reactions the
coenzyme NAD+ is often used as
the oxidizing agent.
• The NAD+ takes the electrons
away from alcohols to produce
aldehydes, carboxylic acids and
ketones.

Like the complement hydration reaction, dehydration can also

49
Preparations of Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols and
Sulfides
Multiple products occur whenever there are a different
number of hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbons that
are on either side of the carbon to which the hydroxyl is
attached.
• There is a rule that can be used to predict which of the two
products is predicted to be the major product.
-In a dehydration of an alcohol, the hydrogen will be removed from the
neighboring carbon atom that carries the fewest hydrogen atoms.
•
If you consider hydrogens as a source of wealth, and since
we are removing wealth, this can be more simply stated as
-“The poor get poor!”

They have an array of important roles to play in biological

We just saw how they can be prepared from the oxidation

Back in Unit 7, we also saw how they can be prepared
from the decarboxylation of α-keto acids and β-keto acids.
Carboxylic Acids & Phenols, Other Reactions
(Unit 7)
The decarboxylation of β-keto acids produces ketones
The decarboxylation of α-keto acids produces aldehydes
(Raymond’s answers to problems 10.27b and 10.31 are wrong)
53
Aldehydes and Ketones
The IUPAC rules for naming aldehydes
• Find the longest carbon chain containing the carbon to
which the hydroxyl group is attached.
• Remove the “-e” ending and replace with “-al”
• Number the carbon chain from the carbonyl carbon.
• Identify, name and locate any substituent groups
Some of the smaller aldehydes have common names which
are more often used than the IUPAC names.
54
Aldehydes and Ketones
The IUPAC rules for naming ketones
• Find the longest carbon chain containing the carbon to
which the hydroxyl group is attached.
• Remove the “-e” ending and replace with “-one”
• Number the carbon chain from end of the chain closest tothe
carbonyl carbon.
• Identify, name and locate any substituent groups
Common names are also used ketones
• The names of the two substituent groups connected to the
carbonyl carbon are listed and followed by the family name
ketone.

Aldehydes and Ketones
Examples of names for aldehydes and ketones
56
Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones can serve has hydrogen bond
acceptors, but not donors.
57
•
This means that they cannot hydrogen bond to themselves,
and so have much lower boiling points than alcohols
•
However, they can hydrogen bond to water, so small
aldehydes and ketones are soluble in water.

Oxidation of Aldehydes
We have already seen how aldehydes and alcohols can be
oxidized to carboxylic acids with K2Cr2O7
60
Oxidation of Aldehydes
Aldehydes can also be oxidized with the copper(II) ion (Cu2+)
• This reaction oxidizes aldehydes, but not alcohols.
• The Cu2+ ion forms a clear blue solution
• The Cu+ that is produced in the reaction forms an orange/red
precipitate.
61

Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
In Unit 4 we saw how H2 could be used to reduce alkenes to
alkanes in the hydrogenation reaction.
• Because this reaction involves adding hydrogens to a
molelcule, it is a reduction reaction.
63

65
In this case it is the alkene.
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
The same reaction can also be used to reduce aldehydes
and ketones to alcohols:
66
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones
In biochemistry, NADH + H+ is used instead of H2
• The reduction of a ketone containing steroid by the enzyme
Hydroxsteroid dehydrogenase.
67
Reactions of Alcohols with Aldehydes and
Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones
can react with alcohols to
form hemiacetals,
hemiketals, acetals and
ketals.
• Theses reactions will
become in important in
the next unit when we
talk about
carbohydrates.
• This is because
carbohydrates are rich
in aldehydes, ketones
and alcohols
