Reaction Summary:
4. Hydration: Alkene + water --> alcohol
7. Dehydration: Alcohol + heat --> alkene + H2
8. Oxidation: Pri. Alcohol + (O) --> aldehyde
9. Oxidation: Sec. Alcohol + (O) --> ketone
9B. Oxidation: Tert. Alcohol + (O) --> no reaction
10.Oxidation: Aldehyde + (O) --> Acid
11. Ether Synthesis: Alcohol + alcohol --> ether +
HOH
4. Hydration Reaction
• Alkene + HOH --> alcohol
• HOH molecule adds to carbons with double bond.
