Concept explainers
a.
To classify:
The given alcoholic structure is primary, secondary or tertiary.
Introduction:
The numbers of alkyl groups attached to the carbon atom which are bonded to the hydroxyl group are classified as alcohols. The reactivity of alcohol is directly affected by the number of alkyl groups attached to the alcoholic carbon. The alcohols are of three types: primary alcohol, secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohol.
b.

- Classify each of the molecules below. OH primary alcohol secondary alcohol tertiary alcohol quaternary alcohol OH X primary alcohol secondary alcohol tertiary alcohol quaternary alcohol OH O primary alcohol secondary alcohol tertiary alcohol O quaternary alcoholarrow_forwardWhich is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols? O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water. O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar. The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water decrease with increasing molecular weight. Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase with increasing molecular weight.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following alcohols as primary (1°), secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) and explain whyarrow_forward
- Classify each alcohol as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcoholarrow_forwardDrinking of too much alcohol cause liver cirrhosis because ethanol is converted to toxic * Acetone Ethanal Acetic acid Methyl ethanoate Ethers have lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable mass because they form dipole-dipole interaction among themselves. they cannot form hydrogen bond among themselves. they can form hydrogen bond with water. they are solvents in organic reactions. Dehydration of two molecules of methanol under acidic condition (H2SO4) at high temperature will produce * Acetone Ethanal Acetic acid Methoxymethanearrow_forwardClassify the following alcohol as primary, secondary or tertiary. primary Ⓒsecondary tertiary none of the abovearrow_forward
- Classify the following alcohols as primary, secondary, or tertiary. 3-ethyl-1-pentanol 5-butyl-4-chloro-5-decanol sec-heptyl alcohol iso-pentyl alcohol 3,3-diethyl-4-nitrononan-4-olarrow_forwardStingless bees use complex systems to communicate. One aspect of this communication is chemical: the bees produce 2-nonanol, 2-heptanol, and 2-undecanol in their mouthparts (mandibles) to direct other bees to pollen sources. Draw the condensed structure of each of these alcohols. Classify each as a primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.arrow_forwardBased on the choices presented below (labeled for your convenience) which alcohol is a "Secondary" alcohol? HO CH3 I A B OH OHarrow_forward
- Classify each alkyl halide and alcohol as 1°, 2°, or 3°.arrow_forwardWhich of the following molecules is least likely to be a fatty acid? O H₂C-(CH₂)-COOH O H₂C-CH(CH=CH-CH₂)-(CH₂-COOH H₂C-(CH₂)-CH=CH-(CH₂)-COOH (CH₂)-CH-(CH₂)-COOHarrow_forward3. Complete the following intramolecular dehydration reactions for alcohols.
