WEEK 7 RECLEC

the ones we use as raw materials to synthesize other organic compounds

may give aldehydes, ketones or carboxylic acids

can be used in subsequent grignards reactions

the one we can use for esterification

would yield an aldehyde if oxidized

further oxidation of the aldehyde would yield

would yield a ketone if oxidized

no further oxidation is observed, cannot be oxidized at all without breaking carbon carbon compounds

oxidation of alcohol need this as an effective oxidizng agent

oxidizes alcohol without breaking carbon carbon compounds

will not react with chromic acids under mild conditions

PCC stand for

a special reagent wich is a milder oxidant than chromic acid which is a strong one

PCC only oxides primary alcohols to form

PCC is made up of

Alcohols when dehydrated would yield

removal of hydroxyl group and water

most commonly carried out by warming alcohol with a dehydrating agent which is sulfuric acid

alcohols can also be dehydrated to become

can undergo intermolecular dehydration to form ethers

ethano is dehydrated to yield

forms alkyl halides

often synthesized to form alcohols so it would be by having a halogen substitute the hydroxyl group

alkyl chlorides

alkyl bromides

alkyl iodides

this usually yields an ester

carboxylic acid plus alcohol

esterification is also under the reaction of

still alcohol but here you have the hydroxyl group attached to an aromatic ring

simplest phenol

monohydroxybenene is also known as

are only slightly soluble in water but miscible with other solvents

either corrosive liquids or low mwlting solids

solid phenols

who discovered phenols?

have supplanted phenol itself in cough drops and other antiseptic applications

much lower toxicity and is common antioxidant in foods

one of the standard amino acid found in most proteins

also known as adrenaline, stimulant hormone produced by the adrenal medulla

neurotransmitter in the brain

irritant secreted by poison ivy to prevent animal from eating its leaves

principal flavoring in vanilla, isolated from vanilla beans

has a characteristic of minty taste and odor, is isolated from wintergreen

extracted from thyme and fungicidal

extracted from clove oil, antisetic in mouthwashes and dental analgesic
