3

Day 4: Revise & Test

Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.

What to Focus On

  • Primary alcohols: -OH on 1° carbon (CH3CH2OH)
  • Secondary alcohols: -OH on 2° carbon (CH3CHOHCH3)
  • Tertiary alcohols: -OH on 3° carbon ((CH3)3COH)

  • Alcohol oxygen: sp3 hybridized, tetrahedral geometry
  • C-O-H angle: ~104.5° (less than 109.5° due to lone pairs)
  • Phenol: resonance between -OH and benzene ring

  • Alkene hydration: Markownikov addition with H+/H2O
  • Hydroboration: Anti-Markownikov, gives 1° alcohols
  • Carbonyl reduction: LiAlH4 or NaBH4 as reducing agents

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All compounds containing -OH group are alcohols

Phenols are more basic than alcohols because they have benzene ring

In Williamson ether synthesis, any alkyl halide can be used with any alkoxide
