Alcohols, phenols, and ethers © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Structure R-OH alcohol R = alkyl group (substituted or unsubstituted) H R C OH H R' R C OH H 1o 2o R' R C OH R" 3o © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Nomenclature of alcohols Add the suffix ol to the name of longest, linear, carbon chain which includes the carbon bearing the OH and any double or triple C-C bond. The OH group has a higher priority than a multiple CC bond, a halogen, and an alkyl group in determining the carbon chain numbering. 5-phenyl-2-hexanol OH © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Nomenclature of alcohols CH2CH2OH CH3CH=CHCH2CH2OH 3-penten-1-ol 2-phenylethanol F OH trans-3-fluorocyclohexanol © E.V.

Blackburn, 2012 Cahn - Prelog - Ingold rules Step 1: assign a priority to the 4 atoms or groups of atoms bonded to the stereogenic carbon: 1. If the 4 atoms are all different, priority is determined by atomic number. The atom of higher atomic number has the higher priority. H HO NH 2 CH3 © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Determination of priority 2. If priority cannot be determined by (1), it is determined by a similar comparison of atoms working out from the stereogenic carbon. 4 H H H H H C C C H H H Cl H 1 In the methyl group, the second atoms are H, H, H whereas in the ethyl group, they are C, H, H. The priority sequence is therefore Cl, C2H5, CH3, H. © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Cahn - Prelog - Ingold rules 3. A double or triple bond to an atom, A, is considered as equivalent to two or three single bonds to A: H C O H OH CH2OH H O O The sequence is therefore -OH, -CHO, -CH2OH, -H. © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Step 2 Arrange the molecule so that the group of lowest priority is pointing away from you and observe the arrangement of the remaining groups: CH2CH3 CH2CH3 R CH3 Cl H Cl H3C H If, on going from the group of highest priority to that of second priority and then to the group of third priority, we go in a clockwise direction, the enantiomer is designated (R). © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Step 2 CH2CH3 CH2CH3 (S) CH3 Cl H Cl H3C H If the direction is counterclockwise, the enantiomer is designated (S). Thus the complete name for one of the enantiomers of 2chlorobutane is (S)-2-chlorobutane which is, by chance, the dextrorotatory enantiomer. There is no correlation between (+)/(-) and (R)/(S). © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 R or S? Br H HO NH 2 CH3 H C O H OH CH2OH H3C H CH2CH3 OH H3CH2C CH3 H CH3 H © E.V.

Blackburn, 2012 Physical properties of alcohols Alcohols are noticeably less volatile; their melting points are greater and they are more water soluble than the corresponding hydrocarbons having similar molecular weights. These differences are due to the OH group which renders a certain polarity to the molecule. The result is an important intermolecular attraction: - + - + O H O H O H R R R the hydrogen bond ~ 21 - 25 kJ/mol © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Solubility of alcohols Low molecular weight alcohols are water soluble: - + - + - + O H O H O H R H R © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Spectroscopic properties IR: Associated alcohols (hydrogen bonded) show a broad absorption in the 3300 - 3400 cm-1 range. 1H NMR: Absorption occurs in the range = 3.5 to 4.5. Coupling is not observed due to rapid H - H exchange. © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Fermentation Fermentation of sugar by yeast gives C2H5OH. Methanol is added to denature it. © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Azeotropic mixtures The bp of ethanol is 78.3C whereas that of water is 100C (at least on Vancouver’s waterfront!). Can we separate a mixture by distillation? No! An azeotropic mixture forms! An azeotropic mixture is one whose liquid and vapor forms have identical compositions. The mixture cannot be separated by distillation. eg C2H5OH (95%) and H2O (5%) - bp 78.13C H2O (7.5%), C2H5OH (18.5%) and C6H6 (74%) - bp 64.9C © E.V. Blackburn, 2012 Oxymercuration © E.V.

Blackburn, 2012 Oxymercuration Why do we observe Markovnikov addition? + HgOAc HgOAc In the mercurinium ion, the positive charge is shared between the more substituted carbon and the mercury atom. Only a small portion of the charge resides on this carbon but it is sufficient to account for the orientation of the addition but is insufficient to allow a rearrangement to occur. © E.V.
